To see a couple hand in hand,
Considerate and sweet,
Lost in a glow that’s all its own,
Makes hearts pick up a beat.
What matters if the wind may blow
And bring the winter’s chill?
Or if snow drifts the country lanes,
Ice sparkles on the skills?
No frozen earth or icy stream
Can be too deep and wide
Or bring a gloom into a room
If hearts are warm inside.
