Walkin' down this lonely stretch of beachShe and I walked down a thousand timesI just can't force myself to give her upLike all the things she left behindGone are the days when I'd wake upWith her warm body next to mineChorus:It gets cold here in the wintertime And my mind drifts awayTo that house across the bayA long talk and a glass of wineAnd we'd love the night awayBut that was yesterdayIn that house across the bayHer laughter was contagious Her walk, her talk, her smile lit up every roomThey say things happen for a reasonBut I can't find one good reasonWhy she's gone so soonLife just seems to hang On every thought and everythingWe used to beRepeat Chorus:It gets cold here in the wintertime And my mind drifts awayTo that house across the bayA long talk and a glass of wineAnd we'd love the night awayBut that was yesterdayIn that house across the bayWhere was sunshine everyday And we'd love the night awayIn that house across the bay
