(“ahhh… ahhh…”) You came in from the cold, the room still dressed in red The laughter faint downstairs, a child asleep in bed You smiled the way you used to when the world was small and kind I poured two drinks and tried to find the right words in my mind (“hmm-mm…”) The air feels heavy, like time that’s overdue But I can hear forgiveness moving through It’s just the sound of falling snow (“falling snow”) Covering what we used to know (“used to know”) Every word we meant to say Still lingers in the air today (“don’t let go / stay slow”) (“mmm tonight…”) The record spins beneath the tree, a melody we knew And every note remembers what we almost made it through You reach across the table, and your fingers find my hand No promises, no plans — just a place to stand (“just a place to stand…”) Maybe love’s not made to last, it just keeps coming through the years Like voices down the hallway, soft but clear [Solo] It’s just the sound of falling snow (“falling snow”) Covering what we used to know (“used to know”) And if tomorrow fades too soon I’ll still remember being here with you (“hold on / stay true”) (“oh-oh tonight”) (“ahhh… the sound of falling snow…”)
