January
Sophie Galet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A thin breeze of snow, and the year begins on a brand new day
I found a lonely glove, on a bench, frozen...It could be yours...
And your warmth's still inside, and your caresses too, my fingers I slide into yours
Snow gives the silence the deepness of my love for you
Green Park is a cold desert but I guess you're somewhere, very close to me
I know we're hiding for long, far enough to break the wishes, but the memory of your kiss
Snow gives the silence the deepness of my love for you...
