Lyrics
She Hey, did you see it, out the back? Something white is in the air He Is it snow or is it blossom? Is it feathers from somewhere? She It's flurries over the garden wall Dancing round the washing line He Catch one on your sleeve, my darling Quick, before it melts like wine Oh, flurries, flurries, over the wall Not enough to build a thing at all But we'll dance in the yard in our slippers and coats Singing for the snow that never quite floats Down to stay, down to stay Flurries, flurries, on a plain old day He Put the kettle on the stove And I'll put a record on She Mind the puddle by the step now Mind the cat, she's on the lawn He The sparrows are all puzzled By the white upon the shed She And the robin's wearing diamonds On the top of his red head Oh, flurries, flurries, over the wall Not enough to build a thing at all But we'll dance in the yard in our slippers and coats Singing for the snow that never quite floats Down to stay, down to stay Flurries, flurries, on a plain old day Both Maybe next year there'll be drifts Maybe next year, we'll see But a flurry's still a gift For you and for me She Now the sun is peeking through And the white goes back to rain He We'll hang our scarves up by the stove And we'll sing the song again Both There's cocoa in the old blue mug There's two of us to share Not a drift in sight, but oh, it's right To dance in the winter air Oh, flurries, flurries, over the wall Not enough to build a thing at all But we'll dance in the yard in our slippers and coats Singing for the snow that never quite floats Down to stay, down to stay Flurries, flurries, on a plain old day Flurries, flurries, over the wall Singing for the little we get at all
