Where Are The Snows?

By Harvey Schmidt (1996)
On album I Do! I Do! (1996)

I Do! I Do!
[MICHAEL, spoken]
You know something, Agnes? I think maybe we're getting a little older

(sung)
Where are the snows of yesteryear?
When did that double chin appear?
Our boy will be sixteen this year
How did the time slip by?

[AGNES]
Where are the snows of yesterday?
We used to be quite bright and gay!

[MICHAEL]
Whoopee!

[AGNES]
Now every night at home we stay
How did the time slip by?

[BOTH]
Oh, what we were
We were something to see!
Would you believe
We used to be fancy and free?

[MICHAEL]
Where are the snows of yesteryear?
When did my belt get out to here?

[AGNES]
Our daughter bought her first brassiere

[MICHAEL]
How did the time slip by?

[BOTH]
Where are the snows?
Nobody knows
How did the time slip by?

[AGNES]
We used to be
Fancy and free
Where are the snows of yesteryear?
I didn't see them disappear
Then all at once some souvenir
Something from times gone by
Touches me so
I long to know
How did the time slip by?
