All I Need Is Snow

[Verse 1] Kettle's whistling, the lights are low Grandpa's chair got the corner glow Nobody wrapped a single thing And still the whole house wants to sing [Verse 2] Your mother's laugh through the kitchen wall Two empty chairs saved just in case they call The window's fogged from all the breath inside And I keep hoping for a whiter sky [Pre-Chorus] Forget the ribbons, forget the gold There's nothing here I want to hold But every hand around this floor And something falling by the door [Chorus] All I need is snow Soft against the pane, no place to go Everyone I love beneath one roof That's the only proof I'll ever know All I need is snow [Verse 3] The radio hums an old-time tune We danced to that in a smaller room Years fold up like a paper crane And here we are, still the same [Pre-Chorus] Forget the boxes stacked up high There's nothing under them worth the try Just pull the blanket, dim the light And watch it turning all night white [Chorus] All I need is snow Soft against the pane, no place to go Everyone I love beneath one roof That's the only proof I'll ever know All I need is snow [Bridge] And if it never comes this year I'll close my eyes and keep you near 'Cause I was chasing something white When the warmth was in this room all night [belted] Oh, I don't need the sky to open wide I've got the whole of winter here inside [Chorus] All I need is snow Soft against the pane, no place to go Everyone I love beneath one roof That's the only proof I'll ever know [Outro] Let it fall, let it fall, let it slow All I ever needed, I already know All I need is snow
