Lyrics
It figures that
you'd fall from the sky
It figures that
you'd catch my eye
It figures that
you'd make me cry
I try so hard to catch you
Don't ask me why
REFRAIN:
You're like a snowflake on my tongue
Trying to catch one
with a million falling
all around
And when I've got one
it's gone
You're like a snowflake on my tongue
From far away,
frosty, kiss caress
Upon my window,
snowy, lacy dress
Still I see
you falling around
I try so hard to catch you
before you touch the ground
(Refrain)
You're everywhere
But my arms are still empty
It doesn't seem fair
I want to hold you but you won't let me
Everything I do, everything I say
Doesn't help cause you
only slip away
Like a snowflake on my tongue
