I came outside one evening and stood in the parking lot and these huge fluffy flakes were falling down all around me. At the time, I was madly infatuated with a woman who wasn't infatuated with me. I leaned my head back, opened my mouth and stuck out my tongue and let the snow wash over me. The song came quickly after that.
Lyrics
It figures that
you'd fall from the sky
It figures that
you'd catch my eye
It figures that
you'd make me cry
I try so hard to catch you
Don't ask me why
REFRAIN:
You're like a snowflake on my tongue
Trying to catch one
with a million falling
all around
And when I've got one
it's gone
You're like a snowflake on my tongue
From far away,
frosty, kiss caress
Upon my window,
snowy, lacy dress
Still I see
you falling around
I try so hard to catch you
before you touch the ground
(Refrain)
You're everywhere
But my arms are still empty
It doesn't seem fair
I want to hold you but you won't let me
Everything I do, everything I say
Doesn't help cause you
only slip away
Like a snowflake on my tongue
(First Verse Again)
