[Intro] [soft chimes, warm synth pads, distant ukulele] [Verse 1] You would not believe my sheets Are cold like January snow beneath my feet But I close my eyes and I can feel the heat A thousand grains of sand between my toes The palm trees sway in rows and rows And February doesn't feel so far I'd like to send myself away On paper airplane dreams to warmer days Where the ocean hums a lullaby [Chorus] I'm writing postcards in the snow To places that I'm gonna go When winter finally lets me leave Miami sunsets, island breeze I'll trade these snowflakes for the seas And everything I'm dreaming of Is waiting there like summer love Postcards in the snow [Verse 2] The ski slopes sparkle silver white A million frozen stars that catch the light But underneath my blankets late at night I'm building sandcastles in my mind Hawaii waves so warm and kind And March is just a calendar away I'd like to think the sun remembers me And saves a spot beneath a coconut tree Where I can finally close my eyes [Chorus] I'm writing postcards in the snow To places that I'm gonna go When winter finally lets me leave Miami sunsets, island breeze I'll trade these snowflakes for the seas And everything I'm dreaming of Is waiting there like summer love Postcards in the snow [Bridge] [ethereal pads, slack key guitar, soft hums] The frost draws palm trees on my windowpane Like little promises of warmth again I'll pack my bags inside my dreams tonight And wake up closer to the light [Outro] Postcards in the snow... Warmer days to go... Drifting off to paradise... [fade with reverb tail and distant steel drums]
