The Coldest Day Of Winter Lyrics & Chords By Robert Earl Keen

On the coldest day of winter
In the darkest dead of night
Lying down beside each other
Wrapped up in the fireside light

(Chorus 1)
We may never live forever
But we'll never be apart
And this vow they made together
Hand in hand, heart to heart

In the blossom of the the springtime
In the springtime of their lives
In a little wedding chapel
They became both man and wife

(Chorus 1)

(Guitar/Mandolin)

Thru the long hot days of summer
Trying hard to make their way
In the coolness of the evening
They would love their cares away

(Chorus 1)

But she found he had a secret
And the leaves began to fall
If he couldn't live forever
Then she wouldn't live at all

(Chorus 2)
Then he cried, you'll find another
But she would not understand
And they buried them together
Heart to heart, hand in hand

Heart to heart, hand in hand
