Lyrics

(C)Wel come back, win ter, once a gain.

And put on your warm, fuzz y sweat er, ’cause you’ll feel much bet ter

when

the snow flakes fall

gent ly to the ground.

The temp ’ra ture drops, and your shiv ers freeze all the riv ers

a round,

but I keep you warm.

(Dat, da da da dat dat dat (Am)dat da.) (Dat da da da dat dat da.)

(Dat da da da dat dat da (Am)da ya da.) (Dat (C)da da da da.)

If (C)speed’s a pro, in er tia must be a con,

’cause the cold wind blows at pre cise rates when (Am)I’ve got my ice skates

on.

If all the roads were paved with ice that would n’t thaw or (F)crack,

I could skate from Maine to Ne bras ka, then (Am)on to A las ka and back,

’cause you keep me warm.

(Dat, da da da dat dat da (Am)dat da.) (Dat da da da dat dat da.)

(Dat da da da dat dat da (Am)da ya da.) (Dat (C)da da da da.)

Peer o ver the edge, “Can you (Am)see me?” (F)I’ll Riv u lets flow (G)from your eyes;

(F)And paint runs from your mouth like a (Am)wa ter fall and your lungs crys tal (G)ize.

I’ll trav el the sub ze ro (Am)tun dra, (F)I’ll break u lets flow (G)fro zen lakes.

(F)And that’s just from the tip of the (Am)ice ter berg: and your lungs crys tal (G)ize.

I’ll do what (C)ev er it takes

Fare well, pow der y (C)par a dise.

We’d rath er skate on the (C)thin nest ice.

We’d

Our fin gers failed us be (C)fore they froze,

and frost bite bit down on (C)all our toes.

and Snow (G)drifts build up and en fold us as we (G)wait out this (Am)win ter storm,
