V & Park Hyo Shin “Winter Ahead” Lyrics

[Verse: V]
Lie with me
By the fire
We can be
Safe from the storms up high
There’s a winter ahead
If it’s cold and wet
We’re always warm here, side by side

[Pre-Chorus: PARK HYO SHIN]
Come what may
Change of heart
Who can say
If you look in my eyes
For the moon and the stars
Hearing strumming guitars
Well, I admit that it’d be nice

[Chorus: V, PARK HYO SHIN, V & PARK HYO SHIN]
I’ll be with you
Until the spring runs by
And the summer starts to burn
I’ll be with you
When the autumn wind returns
Don’t you want to say you’ll stay?

[Verse: PARK HYO SHIN, V, V & PARK HYO SHIN]
Lie with me
By the fire
We can be
Safe from the storms up high
There’s a winter ahead
Whether it’s cold and wet
We’re always warm in paradise
Paradise

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus: V, PARK HYO SHIN]
I’ll be with you
Until the spring runs by
And the summer starts to burn
And I’ll be with you
When autumn returns
Yes, when all the seasons turn

[Post-Chorus: V & PARK HYO SHIN]
Come what may
Change of heart
Who can say
If you look in my eyes
For the truth in my heart
From a world far apart
You’ll realize where you can find
Paradise, mmm
Paradise
