She came on to him like a slow moving cold front

His beer was warmer that the look in her eye

She sat on a stool, and he said "What do you want?"

She said "Give me a love that don't freeze up inside"

He said, I have melted some hearts in my time, dear
But to sit next to you, well I shiver and shake
And if I knew love, well I don't think I'd be here
Askin' myself if I've got what it takes

To melt your icy blue he  -   art

Should I start  to turn what's been frozen for years

Into a river of tears

These days we all play cool calm and collected
Why, our lips could turn blue just shooting the breeze
But under the frost, well he thought he detected
A warm blush of red, and a touch of her knee

He said, girl, you're a beauty like I've never witnessed
And I've seen the northern lights dancin' on air
I've felt the cold that can follow the first kiss
There's just not enough heat in the fires burning there

To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start to turn what's been frozen for years
Into a river of tears
