Shiver: “Warm Hearted”

By Rick Ventrella, 1st Place, Songwriting

I shiver when the spring comes

I refuse the bundle up anymore

I’ve had enough of the white stuff

It’s time to spring forth

I’m gonna stand in the cold

And shiver ‘til the sun comes up

‘Cause it’s getting old,

oh so old

I don’t want to be in it anymore

The songs that we keep on singing

A quiver runs through the notes,

A melody is fine as time itself

It keeps us standing afloat

And our journey feels warmer

By the feeling it invokes

By the song that we sing

and the music we bring

It keeps the warmth in our song.

I’m not cold anymore

I don’t shake anymore

‘Cause I’m singing a warm-hearted song.

Sing along, I’m singing a warm-hearted song

I’m singing, won’t you sing along

A warm hearted song, sing along

A warm hearted song

When was the last time a tear froze

Was it when you opened the door,

I hate the thought of you hurting so.

Let me just sing you a song.

I’m not cold anymore

I don’t shake anymore

‘Cause I’m singing I’m singing, singing,

singing A warm hearted song,

Now won’t you sing along,

Won’t you sing along.
