Let It Snow In Atlanta

[Verse 1] Down on Auburn Avenue, Kids are runnin’ ’round the street, Hangin’ stockings in the windows, Barefoot dancin’ to the beat. Mama says, “Baby, Christmas is comin’, But it won’t be cold tonight…” Still the children press their faces to the sky Lookin’ for somethin’ white. [Chorus – Sweet & Soulful] Let it snow in Atlanta, Just this once, Lord, let it fall. Let those tiny flakes come driftin’ down, Cover up the city like a soft white shawl. They ain’t askin’ for no present, Just a dream they can hold tight… Let it snow in Atlanta, Just one Christmas night. [Verse 2] They heard stories from their cousins Up in Carolina’s hills— ’Bout angels floatin’ from the heavens And winter’s gentle chill. But these kids never seen it, Not a single frozen star— Still they’re makin’ paper snowflakes And tapin’ ’em to every car. [Chorus] Let it snow in Atlanta, Let it sparkle, soft and light. Let the city stop and listen As the world turns quiet white. They ain’t askin’ for no gadgets, No big gifts or neon lights… Let it snow in Atlanta, Just one Christmas night. [Bridge – Spoken Over Organ] Now you know… Sometimes the smallest prayers Come from the biggest hearts. And sometimes a little snowfall Can pull a whole city together. So if you feel the spirit movin’… Don’t you turn your eyes away. Lift your head, children— Something’s comin’ your way. [Verse 3 – The Magic Moment] Clouds roll over Peachtree Street, Wind begins to hum… Then a little girl shouts, “Mama, look!” “Somethin’ fallin’—here it come!” A single flake, then twenty, Then the whole sky’s glowin’ bright— And kids come runnin’ from every porch, Laughin’ in the moonlit night. [Final Chorus – Big, Joyful, Gospel-Soul] Let it snow in Atlanta, Let it dance on every roof. Let the children feel that wonder That they always dreamed was true. Tonight the world feels gentle, Tonight the world feels right… ’Cause it snowed in Atlanta, On this blessed Christmas night. [Outro – Soft Fade] Snow in Atlanta… Snow in Atlanta… Kids laughing under the streetlamps, Catching dreams on their tongues As the night grows still.
