Dream Come True - Winter Song

I know Southern California is almost always sunny, and I have never felt winter here. When I lived in Japan, I hated cold weather because I am sensitive to the cold. I didn't want to get up from bed every morning in winter in Japan. I didn't like feeling chilly wind on the way to work. I wanted to stay in front of  a heater. However, I miss cold weather in Japan now. I want to see falling snowflakes and wear a down jacket, gloves, scarf, and long boots. I think if I were in Japan, I would enjoy cold weather more than before. I know I live in one of the most pleasant climate in the world now, but I recall enjoying the changing in seasons in Japan with a happy memory.

This song, Winter Song, was released by Dream Come True, which is a Japanese pop band, in 1994. My sister loves Dream Come True and often went to their concerts.

Lyrics

The dusk is gaining ground, lights flicker all around
And as I walk the lonely streets, the snow is falling ever faster
Looking to the sky, I wonder where you are,
The way you came into my life, filling every day with laughter

Almost blinded by the snowflakes on my face
Despite the chill I feel the warmth of your embrace
Intoxicated now, I stagger like a fool
I feel that surely I could float away…

I want to show you everything I see, the way I'm feeling
I need to be with you tonight, to hold your arms around me
My love for you is deeper than the deepest snows of winter
The greatest gift I ever had was you.

This sparkling crystal world, this magic winter land,
If I could share it all with you, and make-believe forever after

Like a blanket over everything in sight,

In the hush I hear the silence of the night
The snow has covered all the streets we walked along
I hope you still remember me tonight…

I want to show you everything I see, the way I'm feeling
I need to be with you tonight, to feel you all around me
My love for you is deeper than the deepest snows of winter
The greatest gift I ever had

Can't remember feeling this way before
Do you know, do you understand what's going through my heart
Well the way that I love you, I just hope you feel it too,
Tonight wherever you are…

I want to show you everything I see, the way I'm feeling
I need to be with you tonight, to hold your arms around me
My love for you is deeper than the deepest snows of winter
The greatest gift I ever had was you,
The greatest gift I ever had was you.

This is my song for you…
