Leap Year Snow Day

I have an extra day for you
Hidden in my calendar
A quiet little day made to
Let our thoughts meander where they will
While snow piles up on the windowsill

February's funny like that
Every 4 years it throws things a little out of whack
Look at all the snow, I believe we're trapped
Don't panic
What could be more romantic

So here is my extra day for you
Sleep in with no work to do
For watching the fire and the snowflakes fall,
February's funny like that
A leap year snow day is the best snow day of all

February's funny like that
Skinny little month and it's gone in nothing flat
But today's a gift, a surprise attack
Don't panic
What could be more romantic

So here is my extra day for you
Sleep in with no work to do
Nature deserves a curtain call,
February's funny like that
A leap year snow day is the best snow day of all

So put on your Grandma Marie's old mink coat
And the boots that go up to your knee
Beneath the bright sunlight in this blanket of white
We'll make snow angels by the old oak tree

So here is my extra day for you
Sleep in with no work to do
Something about a new snowfall
Eases the clock to a nice slow crawl
my snow angel looks like a bowling ball,
February's funny like that
A leap year snow day is the best snow day of all
