Winter on the Avenue

Verse 1

Frosty windows in the morning light

Steam curls up from a corner café

Couples strolling past the shining white

Toes tapping as the band starts to play

Pre-Chorus

Coats buttoned snug while the skyline glows

A flurry of laughter wherever we go

Chorus

Oh, the snow keeps fallin' on the avenue

Lantern lights flicker, painting silver through

Winter in Toronto, cold but I feel brand new

When your laughter melts right through

Post-Chorus

Oh, la la la, oh, la la la

Oh, la la la, winter blues fade away

Verse 2

Footprints trailing down Queen Street lane

Scarves pulled high, but you're whisperin' my name

Streetcars pass, bells ring from afar

But all I see is you, wherever we are

Pre-Chorus

Parkas and mittens, hot breath in the frost

We find our flame in a season folks forgot

Chorus

Oh, the snow keeps fallin' on the avenue

Lantern lights flicker, painting silver through

Winter in Toronto, cold but I feel brand new

When your laughter melts right through

Post-Chorus

Oh, la la la, oh, la la la

Oh, la la la, winter blues fade away

Bridge

Skates on the harbor, stars overhead

Footsteps weaving where the old tracks led

Tucked in your arms as the wind spins tales

Rustle of pages, warm cider details

Chorus

Oh, the snow keeps fallin' on the avenue

Lantern lights flicker, painting silver through

Winter in Toronto, cold but I feel brand new

When your laughter melts right through

Post-Chorus

Oh, la la la, oh, la la la

Oh, la la la, winter blues fade away

Oh, la la la, oh, la la la

Tonight, we just might stay

Outro

Darlin', let's walk past the frozen park

Moonlight dancing on every remark

City’s a painting in blue and grey

But here in your arms, I’d never stray

Post-Chorus

Oh, la la la, oh, la la la

Toe to toe, till night turns to day

Oh, la la la, oh, la la la

Toronto’s winter, come what may
