Snowbound

Softly it falls covering the ground A quiet wonder no one around Blankets of white on the trees and the street Turning the world into something sweet The air is still the world's at peace Moments like this make time seem to freeze Everything old feels brand new In this quiet world under a winter hue It's the first snowfall a gentle start Washing away the weight on my heart Whispers of snow falling so light Wrapping the world in blankets of white Footprints fade as I walk alone Every step feels like coming home Crystal dust on rooftops and trees Caught in the magic just me and the breeze The city's quiet the lights softly glow Under the calm of this winter show Everything's hushed under winter's grace Snowflakes dance in a gentle embrace It's the first snowfall a gentle start Washing away the weight on my heart Whispers of snow falling so light Wrapping the world in blankets of white I take it in the world so pure In the cold I find something sure A fresh beginning untouched untold In each flake a story unfolds Softly it falls the world feels right Under the spell of winter's light With every flake I feel the calm In the stillness I find my balm It's the first snowfall a gentle start Washing away the weight on my heart Whispers of snow falling so light Wrapping the world in blankets of white
