| She sat there, eyes open wide |
| And she watched the snow cover the ground outside. |
| Mittens on her hands, a smile ear to ear |
| She said, «In California, it hasn’t snowed in years.» |
| So come outside, and we can watch the sky, |
| Turn up your palms, and open your hands up wide. |
| Come outside, and open up your eyes. |
| Sitting next to me, she ties her scarf on tight |
| Winter can leave you crying, but it brightens up her eyes. |
| And snow kisses her cheek, where I want to be |
| And rests on her shoulders, like in her New York dreams. |
| So come outside, and we can watch the sky, |
| Turn up your palms, and open your hands up wide. |
| Come outside, and open up your eyes. |
| Walk with me… take my hand I’ll lead you down these city streets. |
| Won’t you walk with me? Won’t you walk with me? |
| When she says goodbye, she turns around and smiles, |
| The next time it snows, I’ll be on her mind. |
