about
Carol Crittenden’s new song, Winter’s Wish, is perfect for the holiday season.
It is a wistful, sweet song about the beauty of simple fleeting moments, as seen through the eyes of a child, as well as the wonder we experience through our own inner child.
It is a bittersweet look at the unrelenting passage of time, while reveling in special holiday memories.
lyrics
The little boy’s bleary-eyed stumbling steps
With small sticky hands and his peppermint breath
He stares out the window with all of his might
That a dusting of snow leaves a blanket of white
Grandma’s spritz cookies are the best that he knows
Is it butter or magic she puts in the dough
It’s these simple things he depends on each year
It’s hot chocolate kisses and loved ones so dear
It’s a simple winter’s wish,
May it always be like this
His giggles and singing are heard round the clock
He senses it coming, his heart is filled up
If only this feeling could last all the year
He feels his grasp slipping the moment it’s here
It’s a simple winter’s wish,
May it always be like this
It’s a simple winter’s wish,
May it always be like this
The twinkling lights start to fade from his eyes
The fire’s dying embers beckon goodbyes
The years keep on passing, the drummer boy drums
But we all become children when this time of year comes
It’s these simple things he depends on each year
No matter who leaves us, the memory lives.. here
It’s a simple winter’s wish,
May it always be like this
It’s a simple winter’s wish,
Somewhere it’s always just like this
