The Best Part of Winter

The golden rays are glowing off the snowy stairs
But when I make you smile, the shine don’t even compare
The snow’s been falling faster than the sun can set
But not as fast as I’m falling for you, I must admit
Sojourners pass me by, to see their friends afar
We’re not so different now, running to meet our stars
We’ll make joyful days
Your hand on me threw worries all away
Lay down by the fire
We’ll listen to the carols of a choir
You know you’re the best part of winter
You know you’re the best part of my winter
Come with me, look in a mirror through my eyes
‘Cause your excitement never failed to make me smile
I've always stayed inside, until you took my hand
You showed me just how warm the snow can be in this wonderland
Wrapped up in a fuzzy red, you call to me
You’re wrapped up like the greatest present I’ve ever seen
Now the lights all glisten brightly
Gentle snow is falling nightly
Look, the seasonal decor’s here
How the peace is music to my ears
‘Cause it’s a merry winter night
Wouldn’t be the same without you by my side
And all the bells are ringing on
For the for holidays but soon for our song
These are joyful days
Your hand on me threw worries all away
Lay down by the fire
We’ll listen to the carols of a choir
You know you’re the best part of winter
You know you’re the best part of my winter

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel;
That mourns in lonely exile here,
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny;
From depths of hell Thy people save,
And give them victory o'er the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer,
Our Spirits by Thine Advent here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
What Child is this who, laid to rest,
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Dear balloon flower, please grow
Keep your head above this snow
One, two, three
Let’s do something you and me
Though all of the friends we see
Have gone on their own sprees
Flying out of reach
Remember when we used to play for hours unending
Never bothered by the cold weather
Now the wind has swept me away, in a cave, still pretending
That I’m warming up, it’s all better
Don’t leave me behind
I know you say it’ll fall into place
We’ll all be fine
Oh take me where the snowfall has been running all my life
Oh I’ve been out for so long I can’t recall inside
But when you help me up, oh you know I’ll hold our petals high
Oh the trek is hopeless alone, but with each other we take strides
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na Na na na na, na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Surrounded by a diamond dust, the hail won’t stop knocking
Still I’m rowing down the ice river
Now my body’s starting to rust, and the boat won’t stop rocking
Is the flow to falls where I’ll wither
Please stay by my side
I know you say it’ll fall into place
We’ll be alright
Oh take me where the snowfall has been running all my life
I don’t want to know where the goal is for this ride
‘Cause the whirlpool’s spinning lower, the flow will take us down in time
So take my hand, we’re rowers
I run to be right by your side
Take me where the snowfall has been running all my life
Oh we’ve been out for so long I can’t recall inside
But when you help me up, oh you know I’ll hold our petals high
Oh the trek is hopeless alone, but with each other we take strides
Dear balloon flower, stay strong
You have two to help along

Season's End

As the fire softens with the sound
Snow is melting, wrappers on the ground
Relatives, friends, say farewell
The music fades to songs of memories
Of times of youth and old friends
Season’s end, we take a breath together
Our bonds, oh they’re warmer than the fire
Cold cannot separate us, we’re too stable in our closeness
Oh our distance waning by the mile
Our eyes, secure in one another
There’s a stillness
Where we seal the holes with comfort
As our gaze endures,
My reflection says this moment’s meant to stay with us
Forevermore
Soon we’ll need to rise
The year waves bye
Wake our peace-sealed eyes
To moving times
And only our selves may remain
We need only love, friends
As the season ends
Oh, as the season’s ending
