(Verse 1) The frost is biting hard tonight, silver on the street I’m walking past the window displays, just to feel the heat Looking at the glass, at things I’ll never own Feeling like a ghost in a town I’ve always known Then the reflection changed, a shadow moved in close In the corner of my eye, a presence like a ghost But she was warm and real, standing in the glow Looking at the same display, while the north winds blow. (Chorus) And the world just stopped for a second or two When my eyes looked up and they landed on you Gentle as the snowfall, a spark in the dark Lighting up the winter, leaving its mark We were strangers in the cold, just a moment ago But now there’s a fire starting under the snow. (Verse 2) She looked up with a smile, so soft and so kind The kind of quiet beauty you don’t expect to find I fumbled for some words, just to keep her there Our breath turned into clouds in the freezing midnight air We talked about the lights and the way the city sleeps And for the first time in years, it’s a memory I’ll keep I said, "There’s a place on the corner, they make a decent brew" She said, "I’d love a coffee," and I knew right then it was true. (Chorus) And the world just stopped for a second or two When my eyes looked up and they landed on you Gentle as the snowfall, a spark in the dark Lighting up the winter, leaving its mark We were strangers in the cold, just a moment ago But now there’s a fire starting under the snow. (Bridge) We left the window behind, and we walked through the slush Into the warmth of the café, away from the rush The steam on the window, the bells on the door I didn’t feel the winter, I didn't feel it anymore Just the beginning of a story we’ll tell for a lifetime. (Chorus) And the world just stopped for a second or two When my eyes looked up and they landed on you Gentle as the snowfall, a spark in the dark Lighting up the winter, leaving its mark We were strangers in the cold, just a moment ago But now there’s a fire starting under the snow.
