After the fire died And the presents were all untied Pretty ribbon, wrecked paper Everywhere, I was so tired Could've left it till the morning Could've left it all week The straightening up and cleaning Would've waited for me Outside A slow falling snow I watched it swirl Past the kitchen window ♪ I picked up the tinsel On the floor, scattered leaves Candy wrappers in the cushions All the silver debris Could've waited till the morning Could've waited all week There's something in the quiet hours Calling me And outside The slow falling snow Swirled on down Past the kitchen window In the shapes of leaves In the shape of a sparrow There he was Handing me his coat Then, ooh, I froze He put his hand on my shoulder And I froze At the scene, I stood tears streaming I said, "I have missed you" "You know?" ♪ It hasn't been easy Nothing much cheers me It hasn't been the same I've grown so weary I woke up at the counter A slow falling snow Everything was so clean I was still wearing his coat
