We met at a ski lodge, and we fell in love
Right by a fireplace,
We shared our first embrace
And then inside my heart,
I felt a fire start
It's gonna snow outside, the weather will be cold
But I'm gonna be warm this winter uh huh
Each time your lips touch mine,
They taste like sparkling wine
I feel so warm a glow,
Just 'cause I love you so
It's cozy in your arms, I'm yours to have and to hold
And I'm gonna be warm this winter
Ice skating on a frozen lake
Sleigh-riding down a mountainside
Roasting popcorn, dancing till the dawn
That was how I knew love was born-born-born-born
It's just like make-believe
Each night is New Year's Eve
Each day is Christmas Day
You make me feel this way
It's gonna snow outside, the weather will be cold
But I'm gonna be warm this winter

It's gonna snow outside, the weather will be cold
But I'm gonna be warm this winter
Whoa, whoa, whoa, honey, make me warm this winter
Mmmm, baby, make me warm this winter
Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'll be warm this winter
