A wonderfully hearted man watches his woman leave their home. He stands at the window in disbelief.. Where is she going.. she's packed her suitcase and is backing out the drive He still loves her. She says she needs some time to think. It's cold o

Song Description

What's it like to wake up on the couch again and realize that you never went to bed the night before because she's gone?

Lyrics

Baby, it?s cold outside (Korac, Britton, Gibson @2005)

I woke up on the couch where I fell asleep again
According to the morning news a low front?s moving in
I grabbed a jacket in the closet off a hanger where you left it
When you put all our winter clothes away
The weather man says it?s gonna stay this way for days
Baby, it?s cold outside

It?s not a broken thermostadt, not a missing window pane
That chills me clear down to my soul or makes me ache this way
The trouble I?ve discovered is we?re not wrapped around each other
So I feel lost on your side of the bed
Wishing the two of us were making love instead
Baby, it?s cold outside

I could take a flight to Arizona
or chase the sun across the California coast
But I know a change of climate
could never change the fact that I am still alone
So I?ll just stay home

You didn?t give me any clues but the day you went away
I saw your car was packed, then you backed down the lane
Well the hardest thing for me now is to know that I can?t reach out
When I need you here inside my arms
So I?m hoping you feel the chill before you drive too far
Baby, it?s cold outside

You could take a flight to Arizona
or chase the sun across the California coast
But when you find the chance you?ve takin?
Isn?t worth the move you?ve made and your alone
I guess then you?ll know
Baby, it?s cold outside
