snow can wait
I forgot my mittens
wipe my nose
get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart
when I think of winter
I put my hand in my father's glove
I run off where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping Beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice
"you must learn to stand up
for yourself
'cause I can't alyways be around"
he says
when you gonna make up your mind
when you gonna love you as much as I do
when you gonna make up your mind
'cause things are gonna change so fast
all the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
you say that things change
my dear
boys get discovered as winter melts
flowers competing for the sun
years go by and I'm here still waiting
withering where some snowman was
mirror mirror where's the crystal palace
but I only can see myself
skating around the truth who I am
but I know dad
the ice is getting thin
hair is grey and the fires are burning
so many dreams on the shelf
you say I wanted you to be proud
I always wanted that myself
when you gonna make up your mind
when you gonna love you as much as I do
when you gonna make up your mind
'cause things are gonna change so fast
all the white horses have gone ahead
I tell you that I'll always want you near
you say that things change
my dear
never change
all the white horses
