lyrics

It only snows at Christmas
On greetings cards and scenes
Victoriana’s advent town
Time to rid the clichés from my dreams

Children singing and the bells of love
Angel choirs and Gabriel from above
It doesn’t do it for me
It doesn’t mean a lot because you know the truth

It only snows at Christmas
It only comes on Christmas Eve
It only snows at Christmas
On my T.V.

It only snows at Christmas
On chocolate box displays
Victoriana’s urchins cry
No toys on-board … Santa’s sleigh

Reindeer flying through the sky at night
Soft landing rooftops … until first light
It doesn’t do it for me
It doesn’t mean a lot because you know the truth

It only snows at Christmas
It only comes on Christmas Eve
It only snows at Christmas
On my T.V.
