The First Snowfall Kiss

Lyrics

We were halfway through the streetlamp glow

Talking slow about the coming show

You adjusted your scarf, a perfect shade of green

The most beautiful distraction I have ever seen

Then I saw it starting, just a single, lonely white

Drifting down from the canvas of the night

And you didn't even notice, lost inside my gaze

Unaware that we were entering the haze

Everything got quiet, like the world held its breath

In that shared, suspended moment, just before death

Of the old year, of the distance that we knew

And I wondered what the falling flakes would do

'Cause when the first flake met your cheek, I had to move in fast

I knew that moment wouldn't be the last

The flurry and the frame, we were standing there

With perfect, quiet chaos in the air

And The First Snowfall Kiss was the only thing I saw

Breaking every silent, sacred little law

I can still remember how the cold felt on your lips

A sweet, electric shock in tiny, frozen sips

We laughed a little shaky, pulling back to look

The ending of a chapter in a favorite book

The snow began to tumble, turning pavement into glass

The kind of scene you hope will never pass

But you just took my hand then, and you led me from the place

Leaving only magic in the empty space

Everything got quiet, like the world held its breath

In that shared, suspended moment, just before death

Of the old year, of the distance that we knew

And I wondered what the falling flakes would do

'Cause when the first flake met your cheek, I had to move in fast

I knew that moment wouldn't be the last

The flurry and the frame, we were standing there

With perfect, quiet chaos in the air

And The First Snowfall Kiss was the only thing I saw

Breaking every silent, sacred little law

It wasn't mistletoe or carols in the square

It was just the silent promise we made there

That this strange, sweet beginning, cold and beautiful and true

Was everything I needed to get through

The First Snowfall Kiss... just you and I...
