The Coldest Day of Winter by Robert Earl Keen Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On the coldest day of winter
In the darkest dead of night
Lying down beside each other
Wrapped up in the fireside light

[Chorus 1]
We may never live forever
But we'll never be apart
And this vow they made together
Hand in hand, heart to heart

[Verse 2]
In the blossom of the springtime
In the springtime of their lives
In a little wedding chapel
They became both man and wife

[Chorus 1]
We may never live forever
But we'll never be apart
And this vow they made together
Hand in hand, heart to heart
[Verse 3]
Through the long hot days of summer
Trying hard to make their way
In the coolness of the evening
They would love their cares away

[Chorus 1]
We may never live forever
But we'll never be apart
And this vow they made together
Hand in hand, heart to heart

[Verse 4]
But she found he had a secret
When the leaves began to fall
If he couldn't live forever
Then she wouldn't live at all

[Chorus 2]
Then he cried, "You'll find another"
But she would not understand
And they buried them together
Heart to heart, hand in hand
Heart to heart, hand in hand
