lyrics
Take it easy
Life is fleeting
Put your skates on
The pond is freezing
Snow is falling
Children calling
“Winter may not come to play next year”
Silver crystals on the window
An old piano holds a hymnal
Pull that elf thread
Break that wishbone
When the starlight’s shining clear
Frozen laces
Sled dog races
Scarves pulled tight round rose cheeked faces
Scarlet cardinal
Norman Rockwell
It’s nostalgia that has brought us here
Will the frost bite from her finger?
Will her cold kiss even linger?
Every snowflake makes my heartache
‘Cause winter may not come around next year
