Linda Ronstadt - Icy Blue Heart Lyrics

She came on to him like a slow moving cold front

His beer was warmer than the look in her eye

She sat on a stool he said "what do you want"

She said "give me a love that don't freeze up inside"



He said I have melted some hearts in my time dear

But to sit next to you, lord I shiver and shake

And if I knew love, don't think I'd be here

Asking myself if I have what it takes



To melt your icy blue heart

Should I start

To turn what's been frozen for years

Into a river of tears



These days we all play cool calm and collected

Why, our lips could turn blue shootin' the breeze

But under the frost thought he detected

A warm blush of red and a touch of her knees



He said girl you've a beauty like I've never witnessed

And I've seen the northern lights dance in the air

But I've felt the cold follow the first kiss

And there's not enough heat in the fire burning there



To melt your icy blue heart

Should I start

To turn what's been frozen for years

Into a river of tears



To melt your icy blue heart

Should I start

To turn what's been frozen for years

Into a river of tears
