Cécile and Jacques

We run out into the cold again

The windows on the street are glowing bright

The clouds above billow golden

The deep blue sky's alive with holy light

Up the hill we go together

Delighting in the winter weather

Your mittened hand finds its way to mine

Your cheerful face is kissed with cold

Your laughter's loud and uncontrolled

And suddenly, I find myself content

There's nothing better in the world than this

To walk with you beneath the burning sky

When time moves on, I know my heart will break for this

The longing that I feel will never die

Away

We run out into the cold again

My legs are tired, though I don't seem to mind

My shoes are new but they're frozen

But I'll keep climbing while I'm by your side

Up the hill we go together

Thinking this will be forever

My mittened hand reaches out for yours

Get on the sled, I'll pull you forward

I'll carry you until you're warm

And suddenly, I find myself content

There's nothing better in the world than this

To walk with you beneath the burning sky

When time moves on, I know my heart will break for this

The longing that I feel will never die

How could I bear it?

We are tethered together, connected in our ways

And I will carry you with me

As you will carry me the same

There's nothing better in the world than this

To walk with you beneath the burning sky

When time moves on, I know my heart will break for this

The longing that I feel will never die

Away
