The snowflakes are coming on down Going around in the air They go round, blowing into your eyes And getting stuck in your hair You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen I think of silly lines to say like "You're a winter's dream" I want to tell you something but I don't I want to hold you close, but I won't You're the most beautiful thing I'll ever leave behind We're walking Away from the sights, to the library by the old oak You're trembling You say your hands are cold, so I let them inside of my coat I'm not sure why you're walking so close to me I really can't tell what is real But I want to make you feel alright I want to make you see the light I want to tell you this but I don't I want to stay with you, but I won't You're the most beautiful thing I'll ever leave behind And when Joni sings I wish I had a river I understand 'Cause I also made my baby say good-bye And you're the most beautiful thing I'll ever leave behind
