[Gentle lilting music]

DESCRIPTION: The Treebees stand behind an icy wall next to a frozen pond. Snow-covered evergreen trees surround it, and a snowman sits across the pond. The Treebees watch snowflakes fall from the sky. They smile and sing.

ALL: Snowflake, snowflake, drifting down. And settle on rooftops and blanket the ground.

DESCRIPTION: A cardinal sits on a snow-covered bird house, as a yellow and a blue bird peck at the ground. An owl sits peacefully on a tree branch, and a fox jumps around in the snow before curling into a ball and falling asleep.

ALL: Falling, falling so peacefully. Snowflake, fall on me. Snowflake, snowflake, on my cheek Each one is special, each one unique. Falling, falling so peacefully. Snowflake, fall on me

[Gentle lilting music continues]

ALL: Down, down, down. Snowflake fall. Down, down, down. Snowflake fall. Down, down, down. Snowflake fall on me

DESCRIPTION: The faces of Timber, Millie, and Zo appear on slowly falling snowflakes. The fox looks up to the sky, and the owl ruffles its feathers. Zo catches a snowflake in his hand, a snowflake falls on Millie’s nose, and another falls into Timber’s hands and on his scarf.

ALL: Each one is special. Each one unique

[Gentle lilting music continues]

ALL: Snowflake, snowflake on my nose. Into my hands and onto my clothes. Falling, falling so peacefully. Snowflake, fall on me. Falling, falling so peacefully. Snowflake, fall on me

[Gentle lilting music swells]

[Wind whistling]

DESCRIPTION: On a tree branch, the owl cuddles with the cardinals, and the fox smiles at the sky. The Treebees stand together and smile at the falling snowflakes.
