Season of Snow--a musical tribute

inspired by Twitter #replaceLOVEwithSNOW

and Seasons of Love 


Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty five thousand moments, oh dear
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In snowdrifts, in snow days,
In subways now out of service,
In inches, in piles, in winds like a knife,
In five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, a year in the life?

How about snow?
How about snow?
Measure in snow.

Season of snow
Season of snow

Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty five thousand journeys deferred
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure a city that’s undeterred?

In back-breaking shov’ling
Or in parking space fights
In roofs that cave in or the world all in white

It's time now, to dig out
Though the storms never end
Let's excavate
Our streets from a year that broke all trends.

Melt all the snow
(Oh, you got to, you got to remove all the snow)
Melt all the snow
(You know that snow is a gift from up above)
Melt all the snow
(Share snow, give snow, spread snow)
Measure in snow
(Measure, measure your life in snow)

Season of snow
Season of snow
(Measure your life, measure your life in snow).
