I used to think when you fell in love Bells rang and whistles blew Like the fourth of July, but it was December When I fell in love with you It happened like a snowfall It came without a sound And when I looked the world had changed Everything was new I thought it was just snow fallin' Softly comin' down But while I held you in my arms I was fallin', too The sky wasn't blue the very first time I looked into your eyes It was heavy and gray, the middle of winter So you took me by surprise It happened like a snowfall It came without a sound And when I looked the world had changed Everything was new I thought it was just snow fallin' Softly comin' down But while I held you in my arms I was fallin', too I thought it was just snow fallin' Softly comin' down But while I held you in my arms I was fallin', too
