[00:22.802] |
There was a little boy once upon a time |
[00:28.066] |
Who in spite of his young age and small size knew his mind |
[00:33.072] |
For every copper penny and clover he would find |
[00:38.339] |
Make a wish for better days the end of hard times |
[00:43.347] |
For no more cold feet |
[00:46.354] |
Cold, cold, cold, cold feet |
[00:53.868] |
His clothes were always clean |
[00:56.622] |
His face was always scrubbed |
[00:58.877] |
There was food on the table enough to fill him up |
[01:08.679] |
His house was full of life. His house was full of love |
[01:10.933] |
But when winter days arrived |
[01:14.437] |
There was never money enough to shod his |
[01:16.448] |
Cold feet |
[01:23.710] |
Cold, cold, cold, cold feet |
[01:27.967] |
He grew up to be a worker determined to succeed |
[01:33.232] |
He made a life for himself, free from worldly wants or needs |
[01:36.236] |
But with nobody to share the life he'd made |
[01:39.240] |
No body to keep him warm at night |
[01:44.002] |
When he'd go to sleep he'd sleep alone with his |
[01:47.155] |
Cold feet |
[01:54.164] |
Cold, cold, cold, cold feet |
[01:58.676] |
One night he walked the street looking to the heaven's above |
[02:03.685] |
Searching for a shooting star a benevolent God |
[02:07.444] |
When a woman passing by brushed his arm |
[02:08.949] |
He turned and found love |
[02:11.957] |
He then wished for the courage to ask this stranger |
[02:14.262] |
Who she was to not have |
[02:15.268] |
Cold feet |
[02:22.536] |
Cold, cold, cold, cold feet |
[02:24.791] |
One year later he stood beside her |
[02:27.300] |
He vowed I'll give you everything you want |
[02:30.057] |
She said I'll take some love from my heart |
[02:32.310] |
To keep your body warm |
[02:33.061] |
You won't have |
[02:34.313] |
Cold feet |
[02:41.917] |
Cold, cold, cold, cold feet |
[02:46.178] |
He thought she'd like the party life and want the finer things |
[02:48.679] |
So he promised more than he could buy |
[02:51.934] |
And he promised her the sun and moon to not have |
[02:53.939] |
Cold feet |
[03:00.956] |
Cold, cold, cold, cold feet |
[03:05.715] |
He worked day and night his fingers to the bone |
[03:10.478] |
His worried mind guilty conscience drive him on |
[03:13.410] |
He can't give her what she needs |
[03:16.663] |
He wants to give her what he thinks she wants |
[03:24.934] |
Her sad-eyed face, his empty pockets drive him on |
[03:28.440] |
And his cold feet |
[03:36.210] |
Cold, cold, cold, cold feet |
[03:40.745] |
He'd struggled all his life to be an honest man |
[03:46.507] |
Proud that the dirt on his palms was the soil of the land |
[03:49.014] |
But some guys he knew from high school days |
[03:51.772] |
Said they had a plan to get rich quick |
[03:56.028] |
And they could count him in if he don't have |
[03:58.030] |
Cold feet |
[04:05.301] |
Cold, cold, cold, cold feet |
[04:09.557] |
He thought about their offer accepted it without qualms |
[04:12.815] |
Dreamt about the life he'd buy |
[04:14.571] |
The comfort that would come without |
[04:16.826] |
Cold feet |
[04:23.591] |
Cold, cold, cold, cold feet |
[04:26.097] |
He decided to drive a car |
[04:28.100] |
He decided to carry a gun |
[04:30.605] |
To take the biggest risk of all |
[04:33.112] |
Prove his loyalty to his friends |
[04:37.373] |
He decided to tell his wife things would soon turn around |
[04:39.376] |
He said the little boy is dead |
[04:42.881] |
A man stands with you now without |
[04:45.137] |
Cold feet |
[04:52.153] |
Cold, cold, cold, cold feet |
[04:54.405] |
Without cold feet |
[05:01.674] |
Cold, cold, cold, cold feet |
[05:03.927] |
He thought he'd set his clock right |
[05:06.431] |
He though he'd read his watch |
[05:10.693] |
He left in such a hurry he didn't think to wish for luck |
[05:12.949] |
Makes no difference if you're early |
[05:15.201] |
No difference if you're late |
[05:18.455] |
When you're out of time |
[05:20.959] |
The flowers have been laid |
[05:22.712] |
You're six feet underground |
[05:26.472] |
With cold feet |
[05:28.472] |
Cold, cold, cold, cold feet |
