Snowflakes

The snowflakes are coming on down
Going around in the air
They go round, blowing into your eyes
And getting stuck in your hair

You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
I think of silly lines to say like “you’re a winter’s dream”

I want to tell you something but I don’t
I want to hold you close, but I won’t

You’re the most beautiful thing I’ll ever leave behind

We’re walking
Away from the sights, to the library by the old oak
you’re trembling
you say your hands are cold, so I let them inside of my coat

I’m not sure why you’re walking so close to me
I really can’t tell what is real

But I want to make you feel alright
I want to make you see the light
I want to tell you this but I don’t
I want to stay with you, but I won’t

You’re the most beautiful thing I’ll ever leave behind

And when Joni sings I wish I had a river I understand

Cause I also made my baby say good-bye
And you’re the most beautiful thing I’ll ever leave behind
