Simply to freeze,
Like raindrops,
Or feeble morning dew?
The tears my heart is weeping
Should boil and burn and glow
One teardrop should be melting

The best that you can do?
Simply to freeze,
Like raindrops,
Or feeble morning dew?
The tears my heart is weeping
Should boil and burn and glow
One teardrop should be melting
A winter’s worth of snow
One teardrop should be melting
A winter’s worth of snow
