Dance With the Snowflakes

Come dance with me and the snowflakes
They’re falling now, but they won’t last long
Come give me a smile 
and let’s laugh for a while
They’re playing our favorite song

                 * * * * *

Come whisper to me about snowflakes
how for a moment they were pure lace
and the sheer delight 
we felt on that night
as they melted when they touched our face

                * * * * *

Remember me when the snowflakes
come swirling on crisp winter wind
and promise me this
that you’ll know the bliss
of dancing with snowflakes again
