Snowflakes
Emmy the Great & Tim Wheeler Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Snowflakes on my eyelashes, hiding my tears
Snowflakes remind me of when you were here
Time so quick to disappear, was it only just last year
Stars were in our eyes, you stood here right in front of me
Moonlight falling from above, we were so wrapped up in love
Maybe if I close my eyes, the memory will

Come alive
Your hand in mine
The dream is real
I want to feel
Your love again
At Christmas time

Snowflakes on my eyelashes, I'm coming home
Snowflakes, won't you tell her she's not alone
I went so far to find you were always on my mind
Stars were in my eyes, I'd see you right in front of me
Moonlight falling from above, I will wrap you up in love
Baby if you close your eyes, the memory will

Come alive
Your hand in mine
The dream is real
I want to feel
Your love again
At Christmas time

And when you come, you got to make it through the snow now
And when you come, you got to make it to me somehow
And when I get there, will it be the way it used to?
Oh, when you take me in your arms again the world will

Come alive
Your hand in mine
The dream is real
I want to feel




Your love again
At Christmas time
