lyrics

2am
Copyright ©by Rob Roper 2020

2 am on a winter night,
Denver, Colorado
I put on my coat, and my winter boots
and step out into the snow
The cars are all sleeping
under a blanket of white
And I'm kissed by a snowflake
when I stop to view the sight.

The snowflakes toy with gravity
as they dance in the streetlight
Refracted, soft and blurry
like whiskey eyesight
And the multicolored houses
are now nuanced shades of grey
Like a black and white photo
or a winter painting by Monet.

Chorus:
I've seen many of the wonders of this world
And I've known the touch of a beautiful girl
And I've seen the works of the great Van Gogh
Ah, but this is just as fine
Like a great bottle of wine
Standing in the middle of the street
at 2 am in the snow.

I'm listening to a symphony
of silent eloquence
I stand there grinning
with childish innocence
It's 25 degrees out here
but I don't feel the cold
And though I'm standing by myself
I don't feel alone

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Now you may think I'm crazy
and maybe I am
but if you could only be here
I think you'd understand

(Instrumental Break/Solo)

(Chorus)
