THE NIGHT THAT IT GOT COLD ,
I felt your warm embrace,
The frosty air could not compare
to the love upon your face.
I found you there, a vision so rare,
in a world that's grown so dark,
You brought the light,
like stars in the night,
and awoke my frozen heart.

CHORUS:
Oh, THE NIGHT THAT IT GOT COLD ,
we danced away the chill,
Our love's what kept us warm,
and I know it always will.
THE NIGHT THAT IT GOT COLD ,
we found our destiny,
Our love is strong, our bond
won't break, for all eternity.

We strolled hand in hand,
through the icy, empty streets,
Our laughter like a melody,
a lovely song so sweet.
Our love, it bloomed,
as we watched the moon
reflecting off the snow,
A tender kiss, moment of sweet bliss,
in THE NIGHT THAT IT GOT COLD.

CHORUS:
Oh, THE NIGHT THAT IT GOT COLD ,
we danced away the chill,
Our love's what kept us warm,
and I know it always will.
THE NIGHT THAT IT GOT COLD ,
we found our destiny,
Our love is strong, our bond
won't break, for all eternity.

GUITAR SOLO

The fire inside us burns now
so much brighter than the sun.
In this world of coldness, darling,
we have only just begun.
No winter's storm will ever come
and tear us both apart,
For our love still holds an ember,
keeps the flame within our hearts.

CHORUS:
Oh, THE NIGHT THAT IT GOT COLD ,
we danced away the chill,
Our love's what kept us warm,
and I know it always will.
THE NIGHT THAT IT GOT COLD ,
we found our destiny,
Our love is strong, our bond
won't break, for all eternity.

Great song and very memorable chorus, the sentiment is bang on with the warm nights we've been having. The song has a pleasing movement to it all the way, just going to listen again!

I think having an excuse to cuddle is a good thing. A cold night? Perfect for romance! You've treated us to strong lyrics and a fine melody, Jerry.

From one 'Old Romantic' to another, Jerry...this is one of your finest non-heartbreak songs, possibly the best that I've heard...so heartwarming and endearing...plus the music and vocals are as ever, are top drawer!

Holy hot summer I totally agree! I miss living in Southern CA - the cool nights were always such a treat. Great song concept Jerry, and I like where it led you, and wonderful writing. What a beautiful twist on a love song, beautiful story telling and I love the last verse and the imagery of fire. Lovely melody, vocals and instrumentation - and that chorus is so memorable as well as just the right rise in the song.

We often miss what we don't have: cold nights when it's hot and hot nights when it's cold. Another beautiful nostalgic song, Jerry. Enjoyable singing, playing and atmosphere.

Brilliant lyrics! Super cool chorus. Classic Jerry performance. Love how the beat comes forward during the instrumental break. Nicely done.
