When the Snow Falls

In the quiet of winter It grows suddenly still While the cold settles deeply Sinks its teeth in my will In the cold that surrounds me Frosted windowsills I turn my thoughts to the springtime How much longer 'til When night becomes morning I yearn to see A blanket of fallen snow But yearning means nothing If nothing I see But mountains of withered trees And finally I wake to see the view A gift from the bitter winter The one that makes life worth living When the snow falls on rooftops I'd swear it was like a dream And though the rain may fall And snow will melt away At dawn the light will shine And we'll see the world again Snow is all around me Like a gentle embrace Softly falling on rooftops, rooftops Can't you hear the music Echoing in the wind Strain your ears for the symphony Oh, what a lovely tune Snow! Snow! Snow! Snow! In the quiet of winter It grows suddenly still While the cold settles deeply Sinks its teeth in my will In the cold that surrounds me (When night becomes morning, I yearn to see) Frosted windowsills (A blanket of fallen snow) I turn my thoughts to the springtime (But yearning means nothing, if nothing I see) How much longer 'til (But mountains of withered trees) When the snow falls on rooftops A distant reality (distant reality) Will the snow fall on rooftops Only in my dreams (only in my dreams) Will the snow (will the snow), Will the snow (will the snow), Will the snow (will the snow) Fall? What a happy feeling We soar in the stars tonight As the blizzard is raging We laugh at the storm's delight Though the flowers may shrivel And wither, in winter Hold the promise of springtime See the beauty we can behold What a gay happy feeling I'll keep it to get me by Isn't time so revealing As hope will never die As the snow falls on rooftops, rooftops, rooftops I'd swear it was like (swear it was like) I'd swear it's like a dream
