I still can't get used to the cold br It still chills me to the bone br No matter how thick my coat br Or how many winters I've known br br It reminds me that I'm all alone br It reminds me that I'm far from home br It reminds me that I am getting old br br And that days will be shorter than nights br And the sun will no longer shine bright br And the years - life - br will go by faster than I'd like br br With nothing to hold back time br but the memory of your smile br A flickering fire br br I thought I'd get used to the cold br but I have not br I still recoil and shiver from its touch br br I thought I'd be used to it by now br I'm afraid I haven't learned how br br © 2009 Sonya Florentinobr br Sonya Florentinobr br
