LYRICS
It’s a cold,cold world,that we live in today
Everybody hurts,each in their own different ways
So many things,that tear you up inside
We all need a warm touch,somewhere safe to hide
So I sit here by the fire and hold on to the night
And listen to the song that you sing in my life
I’ll sit under the moon,I’ll wait here for you
Wait for the night to turn blue
I’ll wait for the calm,on the easy side of midnight
My heart will sing the song,of the quiet endless starlight
And I’ll forget about the pain,that eats me up inside
Come on take my hand and somewhere in the blues we’ll hide
So I sit by the fire and hold on to the night
Listen to the song,that you sing in my life
I’ll sit under the moon,I’ll wait here for you
I’ll wait for the night to turn blue
Oh yeh,wait for the night
Wait for the night to turn blue..
