Lyra Medius Nelly Poerich Winter's Gentle Touch

 

Verse 1

The End of December, winter has come,

Since dawn the snow keeps dancing on.

I gaze into your window,

Trying to warm my hands with my breath.

Chorus

Why did you have to happen to me?

I think you're here... then you drift away.

How many times this longing drives me mad,

Just to wake beside you, the only one.

You would never

be stronger than me,

if love meant to you

what it means to me.

Verse 2

I bare my heart to the winter storm,

A lady fears each step on ice.

From the nearby church the bells are calling,

I stop and wait for fortune's gentle touch.

Chorus

Why did you have to happen to me?

I think you're here... then you drift away.

How many times this longing drives me mad,

Just to wake beside you, the only one.

You would never

be stronger than me,

if love meant to you

what it means to me.

Verse 3

When winter silence fades away,

And gentle sunshine opens the day,

You'll know that I was always there,

Upon your shoulder weaving

Why did you have to happen to me?

I think you're here... then you drift away.

How many times this longing drives me mad,

Just to wake beside you, the only one.

You would never

be stronger than me,

if love meant to you

what it means to me.
