And it's a cold year
it's just going to get worse
and there's a sprinkle drop in your ear
you gotta make it work
and when i see your face and your frame
im going to work it out, my way
because you swore you'd stay
smile back at me
it's been a while since I've seen such a pretty face
look my way tell me that you love me
you'll stay, that you'll stay
kinda thought it was cute
when you took my hand
you said you, you said you'd never let go
why did i even care
she wears a funny ring on her finger
it says that she's married, again, again

smile back at me
it's been a while since I've seen such a pretty face
look my way tell me that you love me
you'll stay, won't you stay
she wears a smile that could make the world jealous
i think she's trying but she kissed the boy she did
she wears a smile that could make the world jealous
i think she's trying but she kissed the boy she did
love we forgot too much we're holding on to,holding on to
we forgot too much we're holding on to, holding on to.
