There was frost this morning on roofs so dull and white
A chill outside was trying to come in here and bite
Then the sun made an appearance and it faded out the rime
But couldn't raise the temperature, it's well past summertime
The day was dry but sunny though the temps just wouldn't rise
And the wind's been cool but easy yet it chills you cold inside.
But tonight the wind is howling and the hail is shooting down
It seems that Winter's serious in spreading misery 'round
But it can't kill childish belief learned sixty years ago
Tonight Santa and the reindeer are flying through the snow.
