Spellbound

Christmas Day in London many years ago A little girl was looking out of the window at the snow That was drifting down gently from the sky She was mesmerised by this scene Let me tell you why It was like a picture Ever-changing as she looked All appeared magic as in a picture book The snowflakes fell softly covering the ground Everything was very still not a single sound The little girl was spellbound As the outside had turned white Snowflakes hanging from the trees Sparkled like diamonds to delight This little girl who stood very still Staring at the snow gathering on her window sill The girl at the window Was someone that I know She told me she would always remember The beauty of that Christmas when it snowed I wrote this some time ago
