Quiet White

Do you remember the first snowflakes fallin' when you were a child
There was a magic about it you'll never forget in your life
It covers the bums and unevenness and all becomes quiet
The excitement of waking up and the whole world is white

They try to predict it every year
But when it comes they're never sure
They don't really know
So I tell myself, just let it go, just let go
'Cause you only melt away the tighter I hold
I wish I could follow wherever you go
But I can't hold onto you 'cause you're just like the snow
But I'll always love you, you know

I will still be here when you have long disappeared
We had to love hard 'cause we both didn't know if the ending was near
But I take a second with you over all of my years
With someone who felt wrong even when skies were clear

They try to predict it every year
But when it comes they're never sure
No, they don't really know
So I tell myself, just let it go, just let go
'Cause you melt away the tighter I hold
I wish I could follow wherever you go
But I can't hold onto you 'cause you're just like the snow
But I'll always love you, you know
