You can see him walking down her street
Smile on his lips,
And wings on his feet.
He's got hope in his heart
And his heart on his sleeve.
A year ago is when they met
A year from now is when they'll wed
And he's got flowers white and red
A dozen Christmas roses.
He marches up to her door
Like he's done
A hundred times before
But something's different,
This time there's more.
It's the day he first kissed her -
The day he first missed her.
And I guess he supposes
It'll be the day he proposes
With a dozen Christmas roses.
He knocks,
And then he calls.
The wind howls
And the snow falls.
And she just watches
Through it all.
She left him with
Christmas roses in his hand
Christmas roses, and a wedding band
She threw away
perfect love and perfect plans
And a dozen Christmas roses.
Finally he leaves,
She watches him go.
She's got nothing left
But the view from her window,
Memories,
New-fallen tears,
And new-fallen snow.
She left him with
Christmas roses in his hand
Christmas roses and a wedding band
I threw away
perfect love and perfect plans -
And a dozen
Christmas roses.
