It's cold outside so understand
If I don't hang around to wave
I'll say goodbye and kiss your hand
And then get on with being brave
But don't expect to wipe away
The tears 'cause you know they belong
In someone else's winter way
Before I ever came along
And tried to melt the snow
And tried to melt the snow

And meanwhile I'll be here
And I'll pray to God above
That someday you might learn again
It's you I'm dreaming of
And meanwhile I'll be here
And I'll pray to God above
That someday you might turn again to me
Your one and ever love

It's cold outside so understand
If I don't hand around and cry
I'll let you go without a word
And then be bluer than the sky
And I'll try not to watch you go
And I'll try not to stand alone
Behind you in the snow
Behind you in the snow

And meanwhile I'll be here
And I'll pray to God above
That someday you might turn again to me
Your one and ever
One and ever
Carry me away
To a road that doesn't lead to here so
I don't have to say
On all the days you won't appear that

Meanwhile I'll be here
And I'll pray to God above
That someday you might learn again
It's you I'm dreaming of
And meanwhile I'll be here
And I'll pray to God above
That someday you might turn again to me
Your one and ever love

Meanwhile I'll be here
And I'll pray to God above
That someday you might turn again to me
Your one and ever love
