1. The curtains are drawn now the fire warms the room

Meanwhile, outside, wind from the north-east chills the air

It will soon be snowing out there

And some, there are, cold they prepare for a sleepless night

Maybe this will be their last fight

But we're safe in each other's embrace, all fears go as I look on your face

Better think awhile or I may never think again

If this were the last day of your life my friend

Tell me what do you think you would do then

Stand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you

Make the most of all you still have coming to you

Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you

Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your knees

Let me live again let life come find me wanting

Spring must strike again against the shield of winter

Let me feel once more the arms of love surround me

Telling me the danger's past, I need not fear the icy blast again

2. Laughter and music and perfume linger here

And there, and there, wine flows from flask to glass and mouth

As it soothes confusing our doubts

And soon, we feel, why do a single thing today

There's tomorrow sure as I'm here

So the days they turn into years, and still no tomorrow appears

Better think awhile...

Stand up to the blow...

Let me live again...
