One Cold Winters Night

Way up the canyon just over the ridge
Lovers meet by the old covered bridge

So long they have waited so far apart
Lost in the beauty of each others heart

The river is icy ground covered with snow
As the moon up above puts off its glow

They go to the cabin all nestled away
By the light of fire throw caution away

As she undresses he can't help but stare
For she has a beauty beyond compare

She notices his eyes so deep and so blue
With a fire of desire that melts her into

Into his arms and through out the night
They embrace passion so full of delight

Exhausted and tired at the end of it all
Outside the snow has started to fall

He thinks how life or so it would seem
Has suddenly became a beautiful dream

Sometimes in life we can't help but chance
The heat of passion found in romance
