[Intro — whispered, distant winter bells] They say no two snowflakes Are ever the same... Maybe that's why I remember this one. [Verse 1 — intimate piano] There's a silence in December That the summer never knows Every street becomes a painting Underneath the falling snow I was walking through the evening With my hands against the cold Till you found me by the river And you gave me yours to hold [Pre-Chorus — gentle strings enter] And for a moment all the traffic Turned to whispers in the night I could feel the winter landing But your hand was holding mine [Chorus — soaring, delicate] Snowflakes on my skin Melting where your fingers have been Every little piece of winter Feels like something beautiful again Snowflakes on my skin Falling softly as you pull me in I don't mind the world getting colder When I've got somewhere warm within Let the December wind begin Let the whole white sky fall in I'm not afraid of winter With snowflakes on my skin [Post-Chorus — airy vocal harmonies] Ooh, falling slow Ooh, let it snow All the little things I feel Are beautiful and real [Verse 2 — warm bass and soft percussion] We were standing by the water Watching silver touch the ground And I couldn't hear the city With your heartbeat all around There's a photograph I carry Of that little frozen street Where the world was turning quiet And my heart remembered how to beat [Pre-Chorus — emotional rise] Maybe love is in the moments That nobody else can see Like the way you brushed the snowflakes From the hair beside my cheek [Chorus — fuller, cinematic] Snowflakes on my skin Melting where your fingers have been Every little piece of winter Feels like something beautiful again Snowflakes on my skin Falling softly as you pull me in I don't mind the world getting colder When I've got somewhere warm within Let the December wind begin Let the whole white sky fall in I'm not afraid of winter With snowflakes on my skin [Bridge — stripped piano, fragile high notes] And when the snow is gone When December turns to spring Will you remember how we stood And listened to the silence sing? If the seasons take this moment And the river starts to run I'll remember how you held me When the winter had begun [Final Chorus — emotional, soaring vocals] SNOWFLAKES ON MY SKIN Like a thousand little stars coming in Every one a fleeting second I would live a thousand times again Snowflakes on my skin And the warmth of how you pulled me in I don't need the world to stay frozen To remember what this moment meant Let the December wind begin Let the whole white sky fall in I found a little piece of heaven With snowflakes on my skin [Outro — fading piano, whispered] One little snowflake... Gone before I could hold it. But I remember How it felt.
