You hated using flashlights, so when a winter storm tripped our power that night
You tip toed room to room to spark an oil lamp or two
Noises spooked you in the dark, you ran to me, I could feel your beatin' heart
We smiled and I held you tight while the cold crept inside
Trying to stay warm
Trying to stay warm
Now your favourite sweater's frayed, it hangs where you left it just the same
And my fireplace burns cold, it aint warming my toes
Flannel blankets hug me in bed, pulled close over my head
Our pillow remembers your perfume I close my eyes and I'm with you
Trying to stay warm
Trying to stay warm
Don't know where you are, you've traveled too far, where could you be
Life is cold I gotta know are you out there alone
