A Marshmallow World
Darlene Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's a time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it all year round
Those marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin's head
The world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes, whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter, it's a marshmallow world
The world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes, whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter, it's a marshmallow world
In winter, it's a marshmallow world
In winter, it's a marshmallow world

I agree. Sia or Jessie J would do a nice rendition. I'd even be down for a female K-pop remix lol.

@anf man The Ronettes' version of "Sleigh Ride" in this album is the best version of that song, as well. This has been a favorite Christmas album for me, for decades!
