Dodie Clark - Smile At Snow Lyrics






Ten Christmases ago
How were we to know
That the cold would be freezing , the world would be white
But no one is leaving presents tonight
That word has been hushed, it's almost a joke
The idea of Christmas somewhere became dumb
Now December is just another sad month

But somewhere in winter misery
People still dream secretly of a time they used to know
When people would smile at snow

There were sweeties and chocolates and toys and lights
Carrots and cookies for Santa tonight
Hot chocolates and crackers and family smiles
Laughter with loved ones we hadn't seen in a while
Bad jokes and brandy and music and games
Watching old movies while the fireplace fades
Jumpers and cinnamon and glittery trees
Oh, remember how good it could be
Yeah, remember how good it could be

So people plod on with their every day lives
You might catch a glimpse if you're walking past a dump
The slight sparkle of tinsel, covered in mud
But some are sick of this grey, they form a plan, they say
We'll bring back Christmas
We'll out on a show
Sure we'll be laughed at, but we all know

But somewhere in winter misery
People still dream secretly of a time they used to know
When people would smile at snow

There were sweeties and chocolates and toys and lights
Carrots and cookies for Santa tonight
Hot chocolates and crackers and family smiles
Laughter with loved ones we hadn't seen in a while
Bad jokes and brandy and music and games
Watching old movies while the fireplace fades
Jumpers and cinnamon and glittery trees
Oh, remember how good it could be
Yeah, remember how good it could be

So they gathered all they could
It wasn't much but it would do
When the sun rose on Christmas and the snowy day begun
For the first time in years carols were sung
First people chuckled, then their eyes filled with tears
Soon the whole world was singing, church bells were ringing
How have we missed out on all of these years?

Now somewhere in winter misery
Old excitement makes people happy and now they all know
That people will smile at snow

There were sweeties and chocolates and toys and lights
Carrots and cookies for Santa tonight
Hot chocolates and crackers and family smiles
Laughter with loved ones we hadn't seen in a while
Bad jokes and brandy and music and games
Watching old movies while the fireplace fades
Jumpers and cinnamon and glittery trees
Oh, remember how good it could be
Yeah, remember how good it could be

  6. J.... C....

    dodie posted a new christmas song today !!

  7. D.... I....

    I’m 15 years old, The youngest out of my siblings, Christmas is always a tough time for me. With all the tv shows and movies and everything telling you how much fun Christmas is and how you get to see so much family, it’s hard when you don’t. Yes, I have it better than most but it sucks when my friends talk about aunties, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and all that stuff that I don’t have. Most of my Christmases end in disaster. My parents get into fights with my older sister and it all turns horrible. Last year we didn’t see my sister, so it was just my brother and parents, but dad had to work most of the day. It was boring. My best friend was kind enough to come visit me that night with a lovely gift she made for me, and I made her one in return. It was the best Christmas I’ve ever had

  8. S.... A....

    Ok now I’m ugly crying

    Obviously this isn't what's it about but it just reminds me of how my family and I used to be so happy around Christmas and everyone was so loving and bubbly and festive and then my parents got divorced and I kept growing up and now Christmas is stressful around money and who get's to see who. Who want's to see the kids this Christmas? what time do we switch who gets to wake up where? I just miss being a loving family and if I could only go back but nobody cheats on anyone. thank you for this Dodie 🖤🖤

    I've listened to this every Christmas eve since it came out, it has so much meaning to me (even if you don't like it, it's very special to me) Happy Christmas Dodie 💕

  35. l.... j....

    2018 yo...and its christmas eve

  36. l.... ....

    last year i was severely depressed. i didn't enjoy christmas whatsoever, i ate the bare minimum in the morning and evening and hid up in my room for the rest of it, expectedly my family was super worried about me and it was the worst.

    this year i got help, i discovered that people *did* really care for me and wanted to supply me with their comfort and help. i started to see a counsellor at school, sort my problems and slowly but surely improved. i'm having less panic and anxiety attacks, i'm experiencing less and less depressive episodes and i'm finally happier, i can enjoy christmas again, for real this time.

    this song really reminded me of everything, i don't know why, but "how have we missed out on all of these years" and "look how good it can be" (and the whole song really) just got me sobbing (oops lol), and it reminded me, and made me realise that i *am* okay, and that everything *will* be okay. i *can* be happy and excited with my family again.
    thankyou dodie<3
