[v1]

Flakes, endless falling flakes, falling down on me,

Always make me cry.

Back, always take me back to see,

Where snowblind notions lie.

[v2]

Snow, swirling snow, swirling around my head,

In stark, frozen landscape outside,

Quiet and sterile, like a love long dead,

That grew cold and died.

[CHORUS]

Snowy days make me cry.

Snowy days make me try to remember

A love forged deep in June.

Snowy days make me see,

What snowy days once meant to me,

beneath the winter moon.

[v3]

Silence, winter silence chokes my heart away,

In the icy grip of grief.

One winter day stole our world away,

And time became the thief.

[v4]

Walking home alone, all alone our separate ways,

Through a haze of frozen tears.

Our footprints in the snow diverge, bringing days

Of loneliness and the fears.

[v5]

When the snow falls, I can recall your smiling eyes,

Over the scarf concealing the depths

Of your love. The snow subsides, we say our goodbyes,

And a final glance behind reveals no sign of our steps

[CHORUS]

Snowy days make me cry.

Snowy days make me try to remember

A love forged deep in June.

Snowy days make me see,

What snowy days once meant to me,

beneath the winter moon.
