lyrics

Lounging eagerly.
The dark and quiet meet romantically.
Light and joy play frantically.
A curious wonder overcomes all children like me.
What could be lying under that tree?

A living room filled with gifts wrapped up.
The day never seems to come soon enough.

But, all I want now is the snow.

But, all I want now is the snow.
A child can’t sleep up all night watching Christmas shows.

A hot cup of peppermint coffee in my mother’s mug is nowhere near as warm as a family’s love.
I’d like to know the magic between the leaves turning brown and that jingle bell sound.

But as for a holiday down south...
The biggest wish on the Christmas list...
The biggest wish on the Christmas list, oh, I know, is for snow.

But, all I want now is the snow.
A child can’t sleep, up all night watching Christmas shows
But, all I want now is the snow.

With a frost bitten nose (Beef stew on the stove),
The wind blows cold (Stripped of winter clothes).
A flurry of white (Shining Christmas lights)
wasn’t there (Illuminates and warms the air).
