From an early age I was taught to respect That a broken heart girl Ain't a thing you collect Close your eyes and say Nothing lasts a day You're wasting my time Yet I love to love you Close your eyes and say Honour love obey You're wasting my time Yet I love to love you. It's cold outside The night love died On the night you murdered love It's cold outside The night love died On the night you murdered love. January, February, March and April May June July sees you go by I see love walk away. Didn't use a blade A bullet or a gun You poisoned the moonlight It's cold outside The night love died On the night you murdered love
