Song of The Week: "Winter Dreams"

Song of the Week: "Winter Dreams (Brandon's Song)" by Kelly Clarkson

Sure, Christmas may be over, but that doesn't mean we can't keep listening to Christmas songs! "Winter Dreams," off of Kelly Clarkson's Christmas album Wrapped In Red, seems more like a love song than a holiday song, which makes it great to listen to even when 'tis not the season! Kelly wrote this song for Brandon Blackstock, the love of her life with whom she recently married... And if the lyrics reflect her real-life relationship with Brandon, then this story-in-a-song is one of the sweetest I've ever heard.

Lyrics:

Drawing hearts on the foggy glass
New love chase away my past
Nothing but the open road
Saddle up, here we go
1, 2, 3

First winter here in your arms
Flames rising as we fall like stars
Making angels in the snow
Warm, fuzzies, frozen toes
Is this a dream?

Don't wake me up
If this is love
Please let me be
Swept completely off my feet
This snow globe scene is turning me
This Christmas Eve
"I" became "we"
Don't wake me please
From this winter dream
Winter dream
Winter dream

Build a fire to escape the cold
Bing Crosby on the stereo
Tracing letters on my skin
Slowly starts sinkin' in...
You love me

Oh, don't wake me up
If this is love
Please let me be
Swept completely off my feet
This snow globe scene is turning me
This Christmas Eve
"I" became "we"
Don't wake me please
From this winter

Dreaming dreams
While I'm wide awake
The tree, the lights
Stayin' up late
It's true...
I'm in love with you (Oh)

Swept completely off my feet
This snow globe scene is turning me
This Christmas Eve
"I" became "we"
Don't wake me please
From this winter dream, dream
Winter dream

(Oh, Oh)
(Oh, Oh)
(Oh, Oh)
(Oh, Oh)
(Oh, Oh)
