There are things I need to say, before my heart explodes...
And there are things, I wish I'd hear, before you turn to go.
I know the wind is cold tonight, but it's a different chill I feel...
And words we two exchange tonight, will say just how we feel.

I thought that things were different now, you said you really cared...
We talked and laughed, and reminisced, of times that we had shared.
I know the wind is cold tonight, and you must hurry on...
But I can hear your radio, the playing of our song.

If I could change the course of time, we would not be here tonight...
Looking in each other's eyes, and trying not to cry.
I know this wind is cold tonight, but my heart still holds a flame...
And if you change your mind someday, I hope you call my name.

So spread your wings, and do some things, and know I love you still...
And I'll come here, from time to time, and face into the chill.
I know the wind is cold tonight, but please don't hurry so...
I'll say my piece, and touch your cheek, and I'll be the last to go.

Standing as we are tonight, we seem so far apart...
The wind blows cold around us both, but it can never chill my heart.
I know the wind is cold to night, but it's a different chill I feel...
And with this kiss, upon our lips, our parting we shall seal.
