She came on to him like a slow moving cold front
His beer was warmer than the look in her eye
She sat on a stool he said "what do you want"
She said "give me a love that don`t freeze up inside"
He said I have melted some hearts in my time dear
But to sit next to you, lord I shiver and shake
And if I knew love, don`t think I`d be here
Asking myself if I have what it takes
To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start
To turn what`s been frozen for years
Into a river of tears
These days we all play cool calm and collected
Why, our lips could turn blue shootin` the breeze
But under the frost thought he detected
A warm blush of red and a touch of her knees
He said girl you`ve a beauty like I`ve never witnessed
And I`ve seen the northern lights dance in the air
But I`ve felt the cold follow the first kiss
And there`s not enough heat in the fire burning there
To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start
To turn what`s been frozen for years
Into a river of tears
To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start
To turn what`s been frozen for years
Into a river of tears
