Seeing the world of winter in a new light:

Snow Bound (Through Your Eyes)
by Michael Romani

The powdery white of this winter bright
Paints my heart with a new kind of light
Like new love refined and profound
It's in my bones before it hits the ground

I noticed this as I followed your eyes
Here together as we share in the coming sunrise
Blown in gently on the crystal wind
I had hated cold with a passion with no end

That is until you quietly held my hand
Showing me a crisp new world to understand
Telling me that no two snowflakes are of a kind
Waking me up to all of which I had been blind

Like an old country song that's always staying
There's you making snow angels and playing
Smiling as you catch snowflakes on your tongue
It's living dreams like this that keep us young

Transfixed, lost inside your gratification
Transformed by the warmth of your satisfaction
Snowbound in your traces smiled on this day
Loving the joys of winter as you casually slay

Slay me with your sweet love actually
Snow boots and gloves fitting satisfactorily
But, not as close or tight as your loving arms
As you teach me about the secret winter charms
