This was the first song that I ever wrote. I woke up at 2am with the melody in my head and quickly wrote down the lyrics. This is such a pretty song and it's one of my favorites to sing. It's about first love and figuring out that there is so much more to a relationship that just love.

it was a cold rainy
winter's morning wind whistling outside
we lay in bed close to each other
bodies side by side
it felt so good what we had
sometimes thinking about it makes me cry
too bad when the door is opened in the rain the wind gets inside

when i met you so many years ago
we figured we'd be just friends
but after talking laughing hanging out
that soon came to an end
oh baby when you kissed my lips
i thought i'd never be alone
too bad when the door is opened in the rain the wind chills you to the bone

with you i felt complete
i loved to lie in bed at night and listen to your heartbeat
oh and i'd stare at your face
while you softly slept
too bad when the door is opened in the rain the wind gets you wet

well both of us
i guess we stopped trying
and certainly
got tired of all the crying
i can't say baby
i wish we'd never met
too bad when the door is opened in the rain the wind gets you wet

because of us
my heart is locked away
i can't feel for another until
this very day
i tried to find someone else who
might dry my eyes
too bad when the door is opened in the rain the wind gets inside

with you i felt complete
i loved to lie in bed at night and listen to your heartbeat
oh and i'd stare at your face
while you softly slept
too bad when the door is opened in the rain the wind gets you wet
