Winter Dreams (Brandon's Song)

About Winter Dreams (Brandon's Song)

"Winter Dreams (Brandon's Song)" is a song by American recording artist Kelly Clarkson, from her sixth studio album, Wrapped in Red (2013). Produced by Greg Kurstin, Clarkson co-wrote the song with Ashley Arrison and Aben Eubanks for her husband (then-fiancé) Brandon Blackstock, stepson of American recording artist Reba McEntire. A slow-tempo Christmas neo-jazz pop song, "Winter Dreams" features a 50-piece chamber orchestra conducted and arranged by film composer Joseph Trapanese. Its lyrical theme mainly depicts love and escapism during the holidays, in which Clarkson sings about spending her first holiday with Blackstock, whom the song is also dedicated. Unlike the deep lyrical themes of "Every Christmas", in which she refers to her life before meeting Blackstock, Clarkson had described "Winter Dreams" with a lighter fare, referring to it as her holiday life after meeting him. Upon the release of Wrapped in Red, "Winter Dreams" has received a fairly positive response from music critics, who described it as a sweet but not too saccharine Christmas song. Along with other tracks from the album, it entered the Billboard Holiday Digital Songs chart as an album cut at number 12 on the week ending November 16, 2013. more »

Drawing hearts on the foggy glass
New love chase away my past
Nothing but the open road
Saddle up, here we go
1, 2, 3

First winder here in your arms
Flames rising as well fall like stars
Making angels in the snow
Warm, fuzzies, frozen toes
Is this a dream?

Don't Wake me up
If this is love
Please let me be
Swept completely off my feet
This snow globe scene is turning me
This Christmas Eve
I became we
Don't wake me please
From this winter dream
Winter dream
Winter dream

Build a fire to escape the cold
Bing Crosby on the stereo
Tracing letters on my skin
Slowly starts sinkin' in
You love me

Oh, Don't Wake me up
If this is love
Please let me be
Swept completely off my feet
This snow globe scene is turning me
This Christmas Eve
I became we
Don't wake me please
From this winter

Dream and dreams
While I'm wide awake
The tree, the lights
Stayin' up late
It's true
I'm in love with you (Oh)

Swept completely off my feet
This snow globe scene is turning me
This Christmas Eve
I became we
Don't wake me please
From this winter dream, dream
Winter dream
