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

And when Joni sings I wish I had a river I understand

And when Joni sings I wish I had a river I understand

'Cause I also made my baby say goodbye

And you’re the most beautiful thing I’ll ever leave behind
