This Time Last Year

The snowflakes lit up in the lights of the city
Flying like shooting stars bound for the ground
And when I looked down, there you were looking pretty
With your hair all tied up in that hat that you found
Back in July at the Salvation Army
Lying next to a portrait of white Jesus Christ
I said it looks dirty, you said it looks charming
And I hate to admit it, but damn, you were right

This time last year
I couldn’t put two words together
This time last year
Love was a dream that would never come true
It was hard to believe in somebody like you 

This time last year, I was home playing hooky
Rehearsing excuses for every invite
Now you’re holding my hand on the way to the party
Like two kids on a snow day, so free and so right 

CHORUS

We make our way home through the snow covered city
Take off our coats, let ‘em fall to the ground
How lucky am I just to see you so pretty
With your hat in your hands and your hair hanging down

CHORUS
