Snowbound Sweethearts

[Verse 1 - him] The forecast said the plows won't come till noon The radio keeps playing that same tune I should be sorry, honey, but I'm not 'Cause every road that's closed is one we've got [Verse 2 - her] Your coat's still dripping by the kitchen door Two coffee rings are drying on the floor The whole town's quiet under all that white And no one's coming for us here tonight [Pre-Chorus - both] So let the wind knock all it wants to knock I threw the key and I don't miss the lock [Chorus - both] Snow us in, let the whole world wait There's a candle burning and it's Christmas Eve Nowhere left to run, nowhere left to be Just this kitchen, and you, and me Snow us in, let it fall and fall This little house is the best gift of all [Verse 3 - him] I meant to buy you something wrapped in gold But look — the window's frosted, sweet and old And you keep laughing at my two left feet While the kettle hums a slow and sleepy beat [Bridge - her] [soft] I used to dread a house this small, this still Now I'd trade a hundred Christmases, I will [him] For one more night the phone lines all went down And it was just your voice, no other sound [Chorus - both] [belted] Snow us in, let the whole world wait There's a candle burning and it's Christmas Eve Nowhere left to run, nowhere left to be Just this kitchen, and you, and me Snow us in, let it fall and fall This little house is the best gift of all [Outro - both] [whispered] Let 'em plow the roads come Christmas Day But not tonight, love — not tonight Stay snowed in, stay right here with me
