The wind, it whispered coldness on the window



The headlights showed the darkness through the rain



When silhouetted there against the roadside



Was a girl who I'd learned to love that very day





She came out of the cold



Would I ever hold the girl from the cold?



She came out of the cold





We laughed and talked together on the way



I knew then I'd be foolish not to say



"I'd like to see you here again tomorrow"



As we stopped outside her house, I said "goodnight"





She came out of the cold



Tomorrow, she's mine to have and to hold



She came out of the cold





Excitedly, the next night I arrived there



Asked the mother, was her daughter there inside?



The tears flowed from her eyes



She sadly told me, "a year ago last night, my baby died"





She came out of the cold



Oh, how I wish I was never told



She came out of the cold
