[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
