Outside there's an icicle hanging from my window Sometime not so long ago it would've been a puddle Now we'll all sing together & well build a fantastic fire Knowing it's the beginning, when the vanishing days expire Outside we go running laughing through the splendor Brush aside all your secret plans and the frost on your sweater Now we'll all sing together & well build a fantastic fire Knowing now it's the ending, when the vanishing days expire Stand right here in the middle -- The darkest, the coldest, my love bless your solstice Outside there's an icicle hanging down from my window Springtime is not so long from now by then it'll be a puddle Now we'll all sing together & well build a fantastic fire Knowing it's the beginning, when the vanishing days expire Now we'll all sing together & well build a fantastic fire Knowing now it's the ending, when the vanishing days expire

What do you do with a gift? What do you do with a gift? Do you keep it, return it, or even notice it exists? What do you do with a gift? And what do you do with a kiss? What do you do with a kiss? Do you accept it, return it to the sender's lips? Oh, what do you do with a kiss? Honey bee still, here's a hornet a' comin' Straight for your garland of roses That smart remark really stung, but I'm humming A much different tune than I'd ever have chosen What do you do with a gift? A simple and heart-given gift Do you wish it were larger, or sooner, or cleverer? What do you do with a gift? And what do you do with a wish? What do you do with a wish? Do you take it for granted or well-up so quickly? Oh, what do you do with a wish? Honey bee brave, here's a wild warp approaching Sniffing your pink lemonade Perhaps the best medicine is just poison Now we're spinning 'round quickly like a 78 What do you do with a gift? Sparkling eyes, a warm gentle kiss Do you expect it to resemble ones you've already been given? Or will you open your hands to mine? It's a present, but don't close your eyes...

I'm not afraid of the dark I'm not afraid of the dark The shy sun don't last he takes his bow so fast But I'm not afraid of the dark I'm not afraid of the cold I'm not afraid of the cold Some people go south if they ever leave their house No, but I'm not afraid of the cold I'm not afraid to be alone I'm not afraid to be alone The big moon follows me and keeps me company So I'm not afraid to be alone Oh! Ooh...... I'm not afraid of the snow I'm not afraid of the snow The earth sleeping hard beneath those winter stars Now but I'm not afraid of the cold and I'm not afraid of the... DARK!
