When the first snow starts to fall
I open my mouth, try to catch them all
I lie on the ground, my arms spread like two wings
Above my head snowflakes dance ‘n swing
When I’m old, you’ll still find me
Looking out my window, drinking my tea
And dreaming of the white world outside
Cozy feelings in fiery light
Whitish whispers sigh in the night
With every breath the dark starts to glow
Covers the world that I used to know
Memories are laid
Where childhood played
Cold in my hand
A winter’s wonderland
When the first snow starts to fall
I open my mouth, try to catch them all
I lie on the ground, my arms spread like two wings
Above my head snowflakes dance ‘n swing
When I’m old, you’ll still find me
Looking out my window, drinking my tea
And dreaming of the white world outside
Trees wear their coats, sparkling bright
Winter dreams like a flickering light
Wrapped in the magic, chill in the air
I cherish this moment, a feeling so rare
The world slows down
A white hometown
It starts to sleep
Snowflakes to keep
When the first snow starts to fall
I open my mouth, try to catch them all
I lie on the ground, my arms spread like two wings
Above my head snowflakes dance ‘n swing
When I’m old, you’ll still find me
Looking out my window, drinking my tea
And dreaming of the white world outside
And dreaming of the white world outside
