It must snow, no silent sky
Because it is—well, Christmas today
Kids curled under heavy covers, hoping
All the world has turned white outside
Long lines from little hands on glass
Waiting, wishing for silver flakes to fly
Want to make a snowman, maybe two
Blankets bunched up, boots by the door
Let it fall, let it fall (let it fall)
Just one wish, that’s all
Let it snow, let it snow (let it snow)
Build a world out of frost and dreams
Cold cheeks, soft hats, endless seams
Children singing, laughing, hoping to know
When it’s time to go
Snow, snow, oh snow
Waiting for snow
Snow, snow, oh snow
Also they—sleep in late, hidden tight
Morning light peeking but no footsteps above
Pajamas on at noon, cocoa warming slow
Wake up yawning, every day, every day
Sun arcs high, still waiting for those flakes
Icy patches on the street, none on grass
Wanting to roll and run outside and fall
Build someone tall, snow button eyes
Let it fall, let it fall (let it fall)
Just one wish, that’s all
Let it snow, let it snow (let it snow)
Build a world out of frost and dreams
Cold cheeks, soft hats, endless seams
Children singing, laughing, hoping to know
When it’s time to go
Snow, snow, oh snow
Waiting for snow
Snow, snow, oh snow
Maybe tomorrow, white outside
Maybe by morning, silver rides
Maybe I’ll open my eyes to snow
Three times I’ll check, three times hope grows
Let it fall, let it fall (let it fall)
Just one wish, that’s all
Let it snow, let it snow (let it snow)
Build a world out of frost and dreams
Cold cheeks, soft hats, endless seams
Children singing, laughing, hoping to know
When it’s time to go
Snow, snow, oh snow
Waiting for snow
Snow, snow, oh snow
Waiting for snow
Sleep in late, rise at noon
Pull back those curtains, wish for snow soon
