Candid Elf

lyrics

Candid Elf
(words by Philippe Roulet)

Is she walking by herself?
Or following her balloon
Her face smiling like a moon
She moves like a candid elf

Her balloon isn’t on her nose
Time couldn’t keep it a secret
She is shivering a bit
Both her cheeks pink like a rose

Winter babies are stronger
She was told by the midwife
At the dawn of a new life
She must walk a little longer

At ten past ten her small feet
It’s below zero right now
Well covered by her red coat
The cold she knows she must beat

Although it’s hard in the snow
Gently she pushes the feathers
We will soon be together
We will soon be together
