The First Snowfall

Oh the first snowfall of the winter Was a day that we all waited for When it drifted to and fro Why you should've seen the snow It was near seven feet or more By the old barn door Oh the first snowfall of the winter What a joy for a boy to behold In each house you'll find a sleigh That was waiting for this day And of course, down the road a hill For each Jack and Jill Every winter breeze that scurries Sends the snowflakes up in flurries It's the good old sentimental season when Folks put runners on their surreys They forget about their worries And a man becomes a boy once again Oh, the first snowfall of the winter Jingle bells wove their spells ever dear Under wintry skies of gray It was snowing hard all day And it showed no signs of stoppin' Every kid with eyes a-poppin' Knew he'd soon be belly-whoppin' on his ear On the first snowfall of the winter Oh, that first snowfall of the year (Oh, the first snowfall of the winter) Oh, that first snowfall of the year --- The First Snowfall - Bing Crosby
