Don’t think about the bitter cold 
That’s burning your cheeks
Or the icy wind that turns your skin bone dry
There’s nothing you can do
When winter’s reached its peak
You’ll get used to it by and by

Don’t think about your sorrows 
When your world falls apart
You couldn’t change it even if you try
Don’t worry ‘bout the numbness
That’s crept into your heart
You will get used to it, by and by

Time don’t heal nothing
As much as we might pray
We just become accustomed to
The trials put in our way

So you’ll wake up some morning
Not feeling any pain
Or the emptiness that used to make you sigh
You’ll think something’s different
But nothing’s really changed
You just got used to it, by and by
