lyrics

An icy glance might ordinarily chill me
But cool romance is hot this time of year
And if by chance you have the desire to thrill me
I wouldn’t object to holding the glove of someone so sincere

A frosty kiss might customarily bore me
Destined to settle and fade like snowflakes by a fire
But one from you would never be welcomed so poorly
I couldn’t refuse a peck on the cheek from someone so admired

So what do you say sir?
It seems that the winter stars aligned just in time for some fun
And hip hip hooray sir!
Now when we attend the parties we won’t arrive each as one

A certain phrase might momentarily stun me
For sentiments so rich are rare to hear
But in a daze eventually I’ll give my answer
Repeating to you what you said to me
This perfect time of year

So what do you say sir?
It seems that the winter stars aligned just in time for some fun
And hip hip hooray sir!
Now when we attend the parties we won’t arrive each as one

A certain phrase might momentarily stun me
For sentiments so rich are rare to hear
But in a daze eventually I’ll give my answer
Repeating to you what you said to me
This perfect time of year
