Winter
Lyrics:
[English]
II lost my heart in the nighttime
She left me out in the cold
She left me broken and weary
Drunk off the lies she told
I fell in love in the morning
But when the day gets cold
I'm back to life in my lonely
City of El Paso
But the days get harder in November
Love grows colder in the winter
All the things you say, I'll remember
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Love grows colder in the winter
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
I lost my mind when you left me
And I didn't have much of that
But you were so quick to reject me
So I'll take my time being sad
I fell so hard, I'll admit it
The feeling wasn't mutual
So I'm back to live on my lonely
In the city of El Paso
But the days get harder in November
Love grows colder in the winter
All the things you say, I'll remember
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Love grows colder in the winter
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Promise, promise, promise, promise
Promise, promise, promise, promise
Promise, promise that you'll keep my love (keep my love)
Promise, promise, promise, promise
Promise, promise, promise, promise
Promise, promise that you'll keep my love (keep my love)
But the days get harder in November
Love grows colder in the winter
All the things you say, I'll remember
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Love grows colder in the winter
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya

Grammar:
-
I lost my heart in the nighttime
➔ Simple Past Tense
➔ The sentence uses the "simple past tense" ("lost") to describe a completed action in the past. The phrase "in the nighttime" uses the preposition "in" correctly to specify the time.
-
She left me broken and weary
➔ Past Tense with Adjectives as Object Complements
➔ The verb "left" is in the past tense, and "broken" and "weary" are adjectives describing the state the subject was left in. They act as object complements.
-
Drunk off the lies she told
➔ Past Participle as Adjective/Reduced Relative Clause
➔ "Drunk" acts as an adjective describing the speaker's state. The phrase is a reduced relative clause: "Drunk because of the lies she told".
-
I fell in love in the morning
➔ Simple Past Tense with Prepositional Phrase
➔ Again, simple past tense is used ("fell"). "In the morning" is a prepositional phrase indicating time.
-
But when the day gets cold
➔ Present Simple (Conditional Clause)
➔ This is part of a conditional sentence. "Gets" is in the present simple, typical for 'if' clauses referring to general truths or likely events. It implies 'If the day gets cold'.
-
But the days get harder in November
➔ Present Simple with Adverbial Phrase of Time
➔ "Get" is in the present simple to describe a general truth or recurring event. "In November" is an adverbial phrase indicating when this occurs.
-
Love grows colder in the winter
➔ Present Simple with Adverbial Phrase of Time
➔ "Grows" is present simple to indicate a general tendency or habit. "In the winter" is a prepositional phrase of time.
-
All the things you say, I'll remember
➔ Future Simple (will) and Relative Clause
➔ "I'll remember" is future simple using 'will'. "All the things you say" is a relative clause acting as the subject. The relative pronoun (that) is omitted but implied.
-
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
➔ Future Simple (will) and Subjunctive Mood (Implied)
➔ "You'll keep" is future simple. The 'that' acts as a conjunction introducing a clause. There's a slight sense of the subjunctive mood, as it is a request or wish.
