This is a song for my sons for when they understand it 

You know how life is full you know we couldn't plan it 

your dad and I prayed for strength and understanding 

for things we couldn't see or comprehend 


This is a song for you, to carry in your pocket 

take all our love with you in all the paths you walk in 

I can't say your life will always go like it should 

but I can say that God is always good 


and when the cold wind blows like I know it will 

and when you feel alone like I know you will 

and when the cold wind blows like we know it will 


Don't let your love grow 

Don't let your love grow 

Don't let your love grow cold 


This is a song for my sons for when they understand it 

You know how life is full you know we couldn't plan it 

your dad and I prayed for strength and understanding 

for things we couldn't see or comprehend 


This is a song from my heart a small refrain to hold you 

for times when we're apart and I cannot console you 

Be honest with yourself and don't forget to pray 

and read your bible everyday 


and when the cold wind blows like I know it will 

and when you feel alone like I know you will 

and when the cold wind blows like I know it will 


Don't let your love grow 

Don't let your love grow 

Don't let your love grow cold
