[Verse 1]
Woke up to a world gone quiet
White on every crooked fence
Kids are drawing names in windows
Fogged up by their own breath
Main Street looks like something painted
Dusty wreaths all glowing now
Footprints leading from the houses
All the neighbors spilling out
[Chorus]
First snow in our town
Brings everybody out
Coffee cups and woolen sleeves
Red cheeks
Laughing in the street
First snow in our town
Nothing feels alone right now
We’re all standing in the same soft light
Watching the sky come down
[Verse 2]
Old man Carter sweeps his front steps
Then just lets the broom lean in
Catches snowflakes on his sweater
Starts to smile like he’s a kid
Someone strings up lights by hand
Ladder shaking
Friends below
Pass the bulbs up
Pass a story
Time moves slower with the snow
[Chorus]
First snow in our town
Brings everybody out
Coffee cups and woolen sleeves
Red cheeks
Laughing in the street
First snow in our town
Nothing feels alone right now
We’re all standing in the same soft light
Watching the sky come down
[Bridge]
Sidewalk angels
Mittened fingers
Calling out each other’s names (hey!)
Sharing scarves and sharing shivers
Sharing more than just the day
Every heart a little warmer
Every voice a little loud
Underneath this drifting blanket
We’re one tiny
Shining crowd
[Chorus]
First snow in our town
Brings everybody out
Stories that we thought we knew
Feel brand new in this white view
First snow in our town
Nothing feels alone right now
We’re all standing in the same soft light
Watching the sky come down
Watching the sky come down (oh-oh)
On our little
Gathered town
