Frozen Rain
by Cora Windover

*~*~*~*

A pure untouched expanse of white
And not a living soul in sight
So clean, so smooth, so wintry pale
This falling snow is cold and frail

Glory, glory, I believe in miracles tonight
Heavenly, deceivingly, a forest turning white
Beautiful, so beautiful, and how can I explain!
Oh why is snow so pretty when it's only frozen rain?

A crystal world of falling snow
So this is where the angels go
When all the world is fast asleep
When all the souls are counting sheep

They bring the clouds and start the storm
And wait until the break of morn
When every child snug in bed
Awakens, jumps, and runs ahead

Glory, glory, I believe in miracles tonight
Heavenly, deceivingly, a forest turning white
Beautiful, so beautiful, and how can I explain!
Oh why is snow so pretty when it's only frozen rain?

Glory, glory, I believe a story can be told
Heavenly, deceivingly, a story new and old
Beautiful, so beautiful, in every child's dream
The frozen rain is requisite to every winter scene

A pure untouched expanse of white
Wake up! the snow came down last night
So this is where the angels go
This crystal world of falling snow

Glory, glory, I believe in miracles tonight
Heavenly, deceivingly, a forest turning white
Beautiful, so beautiful, and how can I explain!
Oh why is snow so pretty when it's only frozen rain?
