Last Night

Last night I watched the first snow come floating down
 And land on the streets of this sleepy town
 Well, I got out my mitts and I got out my hat
 Ain't it funny how the season change just like that
 Then I watched the neighbors' kids try to lick the flakes
 All the passing cars stopped to check their brakes
 And pretty soon we'll be singing Christmas songs
 Like "I wish I had a river that I could skate away on"
 And then I watched the rooftops change from black to white
 All the cats and dogs went home for the night
 And the birds left town 'bout a month ago
 Except for the ones that are built for snow
 And then I watched the trees shiver by the light of the moon
 And I didn't feel lonely but I know I will soon
 And any day now I won't say one good thing
 About the cold and the snow and I'll complain until spring
 But last night I watched the first snow come floating down
 And land on the streets of this sleepy town
 I got out my mitts and I got out my hat
 Ain't it funny how the season change just like that
