Honestly I'm glad it's snowin',
It helps to keep our friends from knowin';
When they ask me why, I'm sayin',
"It's easy to blame the weather!".

It's funny how the blinding snowflakes
Arrive in time to hide my heartaches;
Let them ask me why, I'm sayin',
"It's easy to blame the weather!".

When I think of the sun it scares me,
My one alibi will pass!
In Springtime, I hear it's early this year,
They'll see through me like glass!

I see no reason for this break up,
So let me be the first to make up;
If a reason must be had,
It's easy to blame the weather!
