Temperature's dropping Soon there'll be snow on the ground That fireplace is popping Seems so loud when no one's around The weatherman's forecasting record-low temps around here Yeah, the chill of December really hits different this year All the neighborhood houses are lit up like the Fourth of July And there's frost on the windows, and it's dark as a dungeon at mine As the bitter winds blow, the truth's never been so crystal clear That the chill of December really hits different this year It's just the start of winter And already the shivers have made it here to Tennessee And the cold and the lonely Cuts to the bone without you and your sweet love beside me Hmm Well, I could get up and put another log on the fire Get into a bottle and pretend I'm the one you desire The warmth of your body on another man brings me to tears Yeah, the chill of December really hits different this year Mm, yeah, the chill of December really hits different this year
