Snow can wait I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter
I put my hands in my father's glove
I run off where the drifts get deeper

Sleeping Beauty it drips me with a frown
I hear a voice you must learn to stand up
For yourself cause I can't always be around

He says when you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
'Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change my dear

Boys get discovered as winter melts
Flowers come pleading for the sun
Years go by and I'm used to waiting
With a ring with some snowman's
Mirror mirror where's the crystal palace
But I can only see myself

Skating around the truth who I am
But I know the Ice is getting thin

When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
'Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change my dear

Hair is gray and the fire is burring
So many dreams on the shelf
You say I wanted you to be proud of me
I always wanted that myself

When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
'Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses have gone ahead
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change my dear

Never change
All the white horses

    It is most definitely between a father and his daughter. I think it is just the outline of their life. From when she is young and holding her father's hand outside in the winter cold. I noticed that she uses seasons to transition through phases of her life. That is also my favourite line "When you gonna love you as much as I do?" Since we all seem to be hard on ourselves and feel that we are imperfect... our parents have always said (well mine, from experience) that we are perfect. I know when I was going through my teenage years that my mother would be heartbroken when I would look in front of the mirror and cry and throw a fit about how I was "ugly" (<--- not up to 'media standards' beautiful). Every time I hear that line, it hurts.
