- Originally recorded during Brian's "lost period", this wasn't originally intended as a Christmas song, but was earmarked for the unreleased 1977 album.
- Evidence that Brian never totally "lost it", an attractive melody and arrangement.

Cm.............................................Cm7/Bb
Autumn colours have gone, birds fled south with their song
Abmaj7...........................................G7sus4..G7
Snowflakes cover the earth quietly
Cm.......................................................Cm7/Bb
Night extends through the hours, coolly lit by the stars
......Abmaj7..............................G7sus4..G7
The pulse of life slows silently
C..........................F..................C.............................F
Cuddle up in a cosy nook, with a warm drink and a book
Bb..............Eb..................G7sus4..G7
Within a winter symphony
Cm................................................Cm7/Bb
Somewhere children outside, screamin' down a daredevil slide
Abmaj7...........................................................G7sus4..G7
Rosy-cheeked bundles of cold-weather clothes
Cm.............................................Cm7/Bb
Hear the winter winds howl, pierced by the hoot of an owl
Abmaj7.............................................G7sus4..G7
Fingers of frost take a nip at my nose
C...........................F..................C.............................F
Cuddle up in a cosy nook, with a warm drink and a book
Bb..............Eb....................G7sus4..G7
Within a winter symphony
Cm.........G7................Cm.............G7...........Eb.............Fm7.........................G7sus4..G7
Winter symphony, snowflake fantasy, warms my heart like a tropic sea
Cm................................................Cm7/Bb
There the sun always shines, there you'll always be mine
Abmaj7..G7sus4...G7.....C
All in a winter symphony
