If Kisses Were Snowflakes (I’d Send You a Blizzard)

What if you could measure your love for someone in snowflakes? This playful, romantic Christmas song takes that delightful premise and runs with it, imagining a blizzard of kisses, a winter wonderland built for two, and a love so abundant that even Santa’s sleigh couldn’t carry all its gifts!

With a gentle, lilting melody, a buoyant piano accompaniment, and warm choral writing, If Kisses Were Snowflakes balances whimsical winter imagery with genuine tenderness. Its lyrics are full of clever turns of phrase and affectionate humor, from frosty Jack and Jill to the snow globe whirl of a whispered Christmas-time kiss.

The music moves between playful storytelling and more intimate moments of affection, gradually building toward a joyful return of its irresistible central refrain. It’s a lighthearted celebration of the warmth we find in one another, even in the middle of winter’s cold.

A charming addition to a Christmas concert, this piece offers choirs an opportunity to share something a little different: not a traditional carol or a familiar holiday standard, but an original, thoroughly wintry love song with personality, warmth, and a generous helping of Christmas cheer.

Music & Lyrics by M. Ryan Taylor

If kisses were snowflakes, I’d send you a blizzard.
You’d turn all that frost into crystals that shimmered.
My thoughts of you twinkle like lights on the tree
A thousand little candles burning for the one who loves me.

If kisses were snowflakes, I’d savor the chill;
Cold hands, but warm hearts, frosty Jack, frosty Jill.
That whistling can’t blow through the snow fort we’ve fashioned;
For winter’s cold is lover’s gold when both are impassioned.

You wrap me in joy, when your breath warms my earlobe;
Your whisper shakes me whirling like a Christmastime snow globe.
If all that you give were wrapped in boxes and bows,
Old Santa’s sleigh could never carry them through the snows.

If kisses were snowflakes, I’d look like a snowman;
There’d be enough, love, then to build us a snow clan;
We’d skate and we’d sled over rivers and hills
To joyfully meet all life’s sorrows and thrills.

If kisses were snowflakes, I’d send you a blizzard.
If kisses were snowflakes, I’d send you a blizzard.
If kisses were snowflakes, I’d send you a blizzard.
