it was a coldest day in december

a day i will always remember

i looked into your eyes

and faced my deepest fear

i had drifted too far

far from you my dear

[chorus:]

so how could i

turn away from the one i love

how could i

when i know what my heart's made of

could it be

that your soul lives inside of me

how could i ever say good-bye

why was i so afraid to tell her

that for her i would fight a thousand soliders

but just like an angry child

i kept my feelings locked inside

there were rivers of tears

flowing from her eyes

[repeat chorus]

when you fall in love

you never know how long it lasts

but the one thing i knew in my heart

is that i was fading much too fast

[repeat chorus]
