[verse 1] Everyday on a bench in Saint Stephen's Green Sit's one of the oldest gentleman that Dublin's ever seen He comes here every day since the passing of his wife He just sits down on the bench and thinks about his life I approached him and said, pardon me, I saw you looked a bit down Please Excuse me sir, please tell me what you're thinking about [Pre-chorus] He said "I turned on the telly this early morn" "they said that this time of year Dublin's still to warm " But I don't think so, I'm here waiting for the snow to fall those bloody weather people think they know it all [Chorus] This time of year If i remember it right This time of year Those treetops use to be white This time of year I'm sure, It must be,any day now Snow should be falling This time of year [verse 2] Do you See that pond over there If you look straigt On the ice, thats where me and my lovely wife used to skate Oh She looked so pretty in her silver dress I fell in love me lad, god i was such a mess. She made a snowball and than she threw it right into me mug We got married not long after that, I couldn't believe me luck We made a snowman, i do think it was somewhere over here I remember it exactly, it was this time of year. [Chorus] This time of year If i remember it right This time of year Those treetops use to be white This time of year I'm sure, It must be,any day now Snow should be falling This time of year [Bridge] I told the old man, that the world is warming up And that snow will be less likely every year That the polar ice is melting and that most glaciers disappear The old man didn't hear me and looked up with a Twinkle in his eye he looked up at this years first Snowflake that fell out of the sky [Chorus] This time of year I remembered it right This time of year Those treetops use to be white This time of year I told you, anyday now Snow should be falling This time of year This time of year I knew it always would be This time of year Snow is falling This time of year
