Coldest Winter Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On lonely nights, I start to fade
On lonely nights, I start to fade
Her love's a thousand miles away
Her love's a thousand miles away
[Chorus]
Memories made in the coldest winter
Goodbye, my friend, will I ever love again?
Memories made in the coldest winter
[Verse 2]
It's 4 AM and I can't sleep
It's 4 AM and I can't sleep
Her love is all that I can see
Her love is all that I can see
[Chorus]
Memories made in the coldest winter
Goodbye, my friend, will I ever love again?
Memories made in the coldest winter, winter, winter, uh
Goodbye, my friend, will I ever love again?
Goodbye, my friend, will I ever love again?
Goodbye, my friend, will I ever love again?
[Verse 3]
If spring can take the snow away
If spring can take the snow away
Can it melt away all our mistakes?
Can it melt away all our mistakes?
[Chorus]
Memories made in the coldest winter
Goodbye, my friend, I won't ever love again
Never again
[Produced by Kanye West, No I.D., and Jeff Bhasker]

What did Kanye West say about "Coldest Winter"?
