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 Trying to stay warm Trying to stay warm Trying to stay warm Trying to stay warm
