song lyrics

And I sit here, watching, as
The snow comes down outside my window.
And I sit here, watching, as
The people wonder where the time goes.

Chorus
'Cause I've got a girl to think about today:
One who, just by being, melts my cares away.
And I've fallen for her now, simply because,
Though she doesn't see herself the way I see her,
She is and she does.

And I watch in wonder as
The children pass outside my window.
And beside them, hand in hand,
A little girl and boy serenely follow.

I ask myself, will she and I
Ever walk those paths together?
Leaving footprints in the snow;
Finding love in the peaceful weather?

Chorus (2x)

And as the children run and play,
I feel just like I see her smile
In every one of their ecstatic faces.
And as the children catch their breaths,
I feel just like I'm holding her close
From every one of their friendly embraces.

And I sit here, watching, as
The snow all melts outside my window.
And I sit here, watching, as
The kids express reluctant sorrow.

Used to have a girl to think about those days:
One who, just by being, melted my cares away.
And I'd fallen for her then, simply because,
Though she doesn't see herself the way I see her,
She is and she does.

She is and she does.
(4x)

Leaving footprints in the snow?
(2x)
