Paint me a picture covered with snow
Let the bright white dazzle and glow
Cover the branches, the ground, and the trash
Don’t leave one flaw, don’t omit one dash
Paint me a life covered with white
Make it look shiny, smiley, and light
Nothing heavy or ugly peeking through
Make it the best, all glowing like new
Throw the canvas up for all to see
This is my family, my life; this is me
Oh, the praise, and the “ooo, ahh” tickles my ear
I’m safe, as all watch my perfect life appear
But what if the snow begins to thaw
What if that paint starts to flaw
What will they see? Just little old me?
The colors and beauty of reality.
