The night air was colder than cold
But even so I stepped outside
Walking into the moonlight
Shadows danced frigidly before me
My wishes fluttered through the wind
My feet stepped gently on the snow
Then I saw what only a dream could give
A frost of frozen diamonds shining all around
But even so, it wasn't a dream
The moonlight shimmered upon the frozen snow
Creating a magical world of silent fantasy
Where I only wished I could be
I knew the warm winds would whisk it away
It would be gone until the latter
Stay in my heart it would
Still I wanted it to last on
But even so, it could not
Reality ran to me and I went back inside
