Cold Nights And Twinkling Lights

Verse 1

Cold nights, twinkling lights

Snowflakes catching in her hair

She walks slow through December

With a heart too heavy to bear

The world keeps shining around her

But inside it’s quiet and dim

She’s learning how to keep breathing

In a life that once held him

Pre-Chorus

Some days she feels the magic

Some nights she just feels the cold

But she has a fire inside her

And she is learning to take control

Chorus

Through the cold nights and twinkling lights

I’ll be here for every rise and fall

Not here to take his place

I'm just here if she needs to call

I just hope someday, when her heart is ready and she looks deep inside

She’ll look at me and see the love for her I never tried to hide

But for now I’ll just see her

Through the cold nights and twinkling lights

Verse 2

She laughs soft, then she breaks down

That’s how healing tends to be

Her hope flickers like a candle

In a window only she can see

Her laughter looks like crying when seen from far away.

Her heart is mending, so I know that I can't stay

I'll will be here when she needs me

I just want to see her smile

So when the weight of the world get to heavy

I'll carry it for her.....

If only for a while.

Pre-Chorus

Some days joy finds her in the twinkling lights she sees.

But cold nights sometimes remind her of things that can never be

But I’ll walk this winter with her if only as a friend

Waiting patiently and hoping her broken heart will mend.

Chorus

Through the cold nights and twinkling lights.

I’ll be here for every rise and fall

Not here to take his place

I'll be here if she needs to call

I just hope someday, when her heart is ready and she looks deep inside

She’ll look at me and see the love for her I never tried to hide

Bridge

I’m not the right guy at the wrong time

Not a promise she has to keep

Just a friend who cares enough

To guard her wounded sleep

If the season ever warms her

If her heart begins to bloom

I’ll be waiting in the doorway

But only when there’s room

Final Chorus

Through the cold nights and twinkling lights

I’ll stand strong like the trees

Giving her space to heal

Giving her room to breathe

And if someday her smile finds me

In the quiet glow of a softer night

I’ll thank the stars I stayed with her

Through the cold nights and twinkling lights
