On days of shivering, frozen breaths

On nights of gloom, a thousand deaths

Lend me your laughter, lend me your smile

Come sit with me, tarry a while


When the mist gathers and the days are dark

Come light my fire with your spark

When my soul is cold and I want you here

Be close to me, be always near


Just sit with me when I am low

Pull me away from life's undertow

Let us be together, let your light shine

In your winter and on mine
