mittens for my lady in her frosty feathered coat
snow cones on wheel spokes as we walk the slopes
snow men and angels are all very nice dear
but when your eyes shift and you drift, then i know dear

that when you hug me, you'll let me go

you slip on snowflakes, and i laugh inside
you're tired of lying and secrets you hide
love rang like sleigh bells, it was all very nice dear
but we both know that you looked at him twice dear

when you hug me, you'll let me go
and disappear like the christmas snow

i could never bring you happiness for long
maybe he's your king, so hurry, run along
and i'll just hide inside this song

like awe stricken children we gaze at the tree
fresh pine surrounds us as you needle me
your sense of humor is all very nice dear
but while you're laughing, i'm dying inside here

please don't hug me to let me go
just disappear like the christmas snow
