Interpretation
In the lyrics of the song 'I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm' by
Dean Martin, it is about how love comforts us and keeps us warm in difficult times. The singer observes that it is snowing and the wind is blowing strong, but he says he can weather the storm because he has his love to keep him warm. He doesn't care about the bad weather because his love gives him strength.
'The snow is snowing and the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my love to keep me warm'
He doesn't remember the worst December, but prefers to watch the icicles forming. He doesn't worry about it because he has his love to keep him warm.
'I can't remember the worst December
Just watch the icicles form
What do I care if icicles form
I've got my love to keep me warm'
He takes off his coat and his gloves because he's burning with love. His heart is burning and the flame grows higher and higher. He is ready to weather the storm because he has his love.
'Shake off my coat, shake off my gloves
Who needs a coat? I'm burning with love
My heart's on fire and the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my love to keep me warm'
The singer wants everyone to know that his heart is on fire and the flame keeps growing higher. He will weather the storm because he has his love.
'I thought you ought to know that my heart's on fire
The flame just grows higher and higher
So I will weather the storm
Why should I care how much it may storm
I've got my love
To keep me warm
I've got my love to keep me warm'
