Cold Feet Lyrics - Singles - Anthony B

There was a little boy once upon a time 

Who in spite of his young age and small size knew his mind 

For every copper penny and clover he would find 

Make a wish for better days the end of hard times 

For no more cold feet 

Cold cold cold cold feet 

His clothes were always clean 

His face was always scrubbed 

There was food on the table enough to fill him up 

His house was full of life - His house was full of love 

But when winter days arrived 

There was never money enough to shod his cold feet 

Cold cold cold cold feet 

He grew up to be a worker determined to succeed 

He made a life for himself, free from worldly wants or needs 

But with nobody to share the life he'd made 

No body to keep him warm at night 

When he'd go to sleep he'd sleep alone with his cold feet 

Cold cold cold cold feet 

One night he walked the street looking to the heaven's above 

Searching for a shooting star a benevolent God 

When a woman passing by brushed his arm 

He turned and found love 

He then wished for the courage to ask this stranger 

Who she was to not have cold feet 

Cold cold cold cold feet 

He thought she'd like the party life and want the finer things 

So he promised more than he could buy 

And he promised her the sun and moon to not have cold feet 

Cold cold cold cold feet 

He worked day and night his fingers to the bone 

Hi worried mind guilty conscience drive him on 

He can't give her what she needs 

He wants to give her what he thinks she wants 

Her sad-eyed face, his empty pockets drive him on and his cold feet 

Cold cold cold cold feet 

He'd struggled all his life to be an honest man 

Proud that the dirt on his palms was the soil of the land 

But some guys he knew from high school days 

Said they had a plan to get rich quick 

And they could count him in if he don't have cold feet 

Cold cold cold cold feet 

He thought about their offer accepted it without qualms 

Dreamt about the life he'd buy 

The comfort that would come without cold feet 

Cold cold cold cold feet 

He decided to tell his wife things would soon turn around 

He said the little boy is dead 

A man stands with you now without cold feet 

Cold cold cold cold feet 

Without cold feet 

Cold cold cold cold feet 

He thought he'd set his clock right, He though he'd read his watch 

He left in such a hurry he didn't think to wish for luck 

Makes no difference if you're early, No difference if you're late 

When you're out of time, The flowers have been laid 

You're six feet underground 

With cold feet 

Cold cold cold cold feet
