Lyrics
I love the winter weather
So the two of us can get together
There’s nothing sweeter, finer
When it’s nice and cold I can hold my baby closer to me
And collect the kisses that are due me
I love the winter weather
Because I’ve got my love to keep me warm
I love the winter weather
’cause that’s when you and I can get together
There’s nothing sweeter, finer
When there’s ice and snow
Don’t you know I’ll hold you tightly to me
And I will get that love that is due me
I love the winter weather
Because I’ve got my love to keep me warm
Take the summer you can have a ball
Take the springtime or even the fall
But I guess I like the winter most of all
I love the winter weather
When the two of us can get together
There’s nothing sweeter, finer
When it’s nice and cold I can hold my baby closer to me
And collect the kisses that are due me
I love the winter weather
Because I’ve got my love to keep me warm
Take the summer you can have a ball
Take the springtime even the fall
But I guess I like the winter most of all
Oh, I love winter
