Snowfall

A thousand flashing colors and a million twinkling lights
The sight is overwhelming, and my head's not feeling right
I see the snow is falling, but I just don't feel the chill
That is when I saw her like a gift wrapped to the hilt

She was an elfin' angel; she took away my fear
I asked, "How did I find this place?" She said, "It's quite clear
You go through the flannel fairway, down the cinnamony slopes
We're a common destination for the happiest of folks"

Feeling Christmas coming
Though I don't know where it's been
See, the snow is falling
Will it fall on you and me again?

"We've got loads of Christmas spirit and a surplus now of cheer
Though there's something I've been missing since the time I first came here"
I nodded in agreement, though I didn't understand
She laughed at me and smiled, then she took me by the hand

I asked, "How long have you been here?" though I didn't want to pry
"A quarter score and not much more," she wistfully replied
I enjoyed the conversation and the dreamy way she spoke
But I had some obligation, so "I really better go"

With that twinkle in her eye, she saw me off, waved goodbye
And I went quickly on my way back to my weary winter day
Bumpers are on bumpers with a million blinking lights
The sight is underwhelming, and my head is feeling light

Feeling Christmas coming
Though I don't know where it's been
See, the snow is falling
Will it fall on you and me again?
Will it fall on you and me again?

Don't get me started on the jingle bells-I wish they'd go away
You know the snow in Chicago will be here until May
Forget about the reindeer; forget about the sleigh
The tree, the snow, the mistletoe can wait another day

I looked for the flannel fairway and the cinnamony slopes
But I could never find her, my angel in the snow
"I hope you remember this December; I'll see you next year
You really made this Christmas merry as it could be"
