Storm So Wild, Blitzed Hearts  (Love Blizzard) by Gloria Buono-Daly ©2025

(Verse 1 )

Cold wind’s howlin’ cuttin’ through my skin

Snow keeps fallin’, love done turned to ice

Shadows stretch where your warmth once shined

Fading footprints trace a love confined

Should’ve held on, should’ve made things right

Now I’m lost in the endless night

(Pre-Chorus 1 )

LEAD: Red noses, BACKING: Ooooh roses cold

LEAD: Whiskey’s burnin’, but it don’t console me BACKING: Mmm-mmm, no heat inside

LEAD: Shakin’ hands, a lonesome man BACKING: Whose lost? We lost

I need you to light my fire again!

(Chorus 1)

LEAD: WooOh, this blizzard—blitzed hearts BACKING: Blitzed Hearts!

LEAD: Snow blind, but I still see your smile BACKING: Mmm, see that smile

LEAD: I’m lost, darlin’, in this snow so deep BACKING: So deep, so deep!

Without your love, I just can’t sleep

LEAD: Storm so wild, blitzed hearts BACKING: Storm so wild

Lightning fades, but hope still sparks

(Verse 2 )

Blinding fog, a lost dog cries

A lone wolf howls through empty skies

Frost-bound creatures huddle tight,

But I stand alone in the endless night

Frostbitten lips, no words to say,

No shelter left as love fades away.

(Pre-Chorus 2 )

LEAD: Red noses, frozen roses BACKING: Frozen roses

LEAD: Lonely footprins, ice-cold shivers  BACKING: Shivers, yeahhh!

LEAD: Whiskey sippin’, teardrops drippin’ BACKING: Drippin’ slippin’

But all I need… is your love warmin’ (or I don’t need your love stormin’)

(Chorus 2 )

LEAD: Oh, love blizzard—blitzed hearts! BACKING: "Who’s lost? We lost?"

LEAD: Can't see through, I need calm and mild  BACKING: "Mmmm—mild!"

LEAD: Melt this ice, let love ignite  BACKING: Let love ignite

LEAD: Break this chill, let love ignite

Storm so wild, blitzed hearts

Show me home, pull me out of night

(Bridge )

Storm so wild, blitzed hearts

Frozen whispers, lost in time

(Spoken softly, syncopated): Will love break through or leave me blind?

Change this storm to golden skies, pull me from this frozen well

(Soft falsetto wail): Am I stuck out in the snow…?

Calling out… but no echo—ooooo

(Final Chorus)

LEAD: WooOh, this blizzard—blitzed hearts! | BACKING: Blitzed Hearts!

LEAD: Snowblind, but I still see your face | BACKING: See your face

LEAD: I'm lost, darlin’, in this storm so deep | BACKING: So deep, so deep!

Without your love, I can't find sleep

LEAD: Storm so wild, blitzed hearts | BACKING: Storm so wild

Lightning fades, but hope still sparks. | BACKING: Hope still sparks.

(Outro )

So I keep callin', through the night BACKING: Oooooh, through the night

Prayin’ echoes reach your light BACKING: Darlin’, if you hear me—chase the dark

(Fading Ad-Libs): Melt this frost, reignite my heart

(Band Breakdown & Fade-Out)
