Lyrics
Winter is coming and soon
There will be frost on the moon
Snow will be falling
And what am I going to do?
I’ll need somebody to hold
Someone to hold when it’s cold
Someone to love
And I hope that that someone is you
Chorus
The sun will shine in the summer
And I’ll be fine in the summer
But then I’ve got to have you
To cuddle up to
When winter comes
It’s nice and warm in the summer
I’ll be in form in the summer
But then I’ve got to have you
To cuddle up to
When winter comes
All summer I’ll be playing
Out on a tennis court
But in the winter
Just like the groundhog
I’ll turn in to an indoor sport
I’ll pull an oar in the summer
And hug the shore in the summer
But then I’ve got to have you
To cuddle up to
When winter comes
