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-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.
