Something a little cozy rather than romantic for today.<\/em><\/p>\n

Warm the glow of fire.
\nWarm the glow of sun.
\nWarm the glow of cool desire.
\nWarm the glow of home.<\/p>\n

Come home to hearth
\nCome home to joy
\nCome home my girl
\nCome home my boy.<\/p>\n

The door is open
\nThe table laid
\nThe joy is spoken
\nAnd the dinner made.<\/p>\n

Warm the heart
\nWarm the mind
\nWarm the start
\nThat we now find.<\/p>\n

Warm the glow in every soul
\nWarm the glow in lifted song.
\nWarm the glow that makes us whole.
\nWarm the glow of family throng.<\/p>\n
