it's the first snow of the year |
|
guess it happens once a year |
|
it's the first snow of the year oh glory |
|
and dogs in the neighbourhood are going crazy |
|
and even all the old ones that are usually lazy |
|
it's the first snow of the year |
|
i wonder will it stay for good |
|
i wonder will it be here in the morning |
|
when i wake up to meet the day |
|
will the fresh white snow still around me lay |
|
it's the first snow of the year |
|
i know that by february |
|
my thoughts on snow will be contrary |
|
but this is now and then is then |
|
it's the first snow of the year |
|
so put the bicycles away |
|
and clear the walkways with a borrowed shovel |
|
and i heard this year was gonna be trouble |
|
if you thought last year was bad |
|
this year's supposed to be double |
|
but you can never ever tell |
|
and it's probably just as well |
|
take the toboggan to the nearest valley |
|
and night time comes just way too soon |
|
and you drag the thing home under a half lit moon |
|
it's the first snow of the year |
|
it's the first snow of the year |
|
so i think we should go to bed early |
|
and light a candle where we lay |
|
stay as warm as we can stay |
|
fill my nose up with the smell |
|
of the first snow of the year |
|
before you know the days will be getting long |
|
but as we hunker down a spell |
|
and the fire's burning well |
|
i like the way that we keep warm in the covers |
|
on the first snow of the year |
