Lyrics
It was the coldest of winters
Describing an extremely cold winter
Though the warmest of nights
Contrasting the cold weather with warm nights
We slept by the fire side by side
Depicting the intimacy of sleeping together by the fireside
We dreamt of a winter
Dreaming of a picturesque white winter
When all would be white
Anticipating a snowy landscape
We never thought morning
Surprised by the joy morning brings
Would bring such delight
Contrasting expectations with the delightful reality
It had snowed, in the night
Noting the occurrence of snow during the night
Our first Christmas would be white
Expressing excitement about experiencing a white Christmas
Like a diamond in the sky
Comparing the snow to a sparkling diamond in the sky
The snow sparkled and shined
Highlighting the beauty of the snow
And shined
Repeating the emphasis on the brilliance of the snow
Well your Innocent is graceful
Complimenting someone's innocence and sincerity
And your heart is true
Acknowledging the purity of the person's heart
You work with compassion
Recognizing the individual's compassionate nature
And it works with you
Noting the reciprocity between compassion and the person
Oh with each new winter
Referring to the anticipation of each new winter
When December returns
Connecting the theme of December's return with memories
I think to that morning
Recalling a specific morning from the past
When we both learned
Reflecting on the shared learning experience
It had snowed, in the night
Reiterating the occurrence of snow for emphasis
Our first Christmas would be white
Repeating the excitement about a white Christmas
Like a diamond in the sky
Reiterating the comparison of snow to a sparkling diamond
The snow sparkled and shined
Emphasizing the brilliance and beauty of the snow
And shined
Repeating the emphasis on the snow's shine
And shined
Continuing the repetition of the snow's brilliance
And shined
Concluding the repetition, possibly for added impact
When the snow began to fall I took you by the hand
Describing a moment of intimacy as snow falls
I spun you around and I asked you to dance
Inviting someone to dance in the snow
Can you hear my heart beat can you hear that sound
Asking if the heartbeat can be heard during the dance
On the eve of Christmas, bells rang out
Referencing the joyous sound of Christmas bells
When the snow began to fall I took you by the hand
Repeating the scenario of dancing in the snow
I spun you around and I asked you to dance
Reiterating the invitation to dance
Can you hear my heart beat can you hear that sound
Repeating the question about hearing the heartbeat
On the eve of Christmas, bells rang out
Repeating the mention of Christmas bells ringing
When the snow began to fall I took you by the hand
Repeating the scene of dancing in the snow
I spun you around and I asked you to dance
Reiterating the invitation to dance once again
Can you hear my heart beat can you hear that sound
Repeating the query about hearing the heartbeat
On the eve of Christmas, bells rang out
Reiterating the festive sound of Christmas bells
On the eve of Christmas, bells rang out
Emphasizing the ringing of Christmas bells on the eve
On the eve of Christmas, bells rang out
Repeating the mention of Christmas bells ringing on the eve
