A Snowflake on My Tongue

Snow has fallen again, white and so fluffy,I’m walking down the road, heart all sunnyI reach my hand up — catch a snowflake right,On my tongue it lands, shining bright

Oh, this moment’s so good, so pure, so clear,Snow is dancing a waltz, joy we all hearBut there’s a shadow deep in my soul, I fear —‘Cause the snow won’t last, it will disappear

Pine boughs in silver, lights far away,Somewhere songs and laughter, a holiday playI catch the snowflakes — each one’s a rhyme,Short and gentle, like a child’s sweet sigh

Let the blizzard swirl, let the winter sing,In my heart a dream takes wingThe snowy cover’s a kind good sign,Lord, send us happiness, make it all mine

Winter may leave, but in memory’s keep Snowflakes and Christmas lights I’ll always reapI will keep inside that quiet white hour,When the world was a fairy tale, in its full power
