When I think of snow,

When I think of you,

I think of (Dm7)home.

And (Am7)I know all

(G)for a while

will melt

a way.

If I could make this plane

go

(Csus)an y fast (C)er,

I’d be stand ing right

out side

your (Gsus)door.

(Am)I can close

my eyes

and see that

(C)sweet look

(G)of sur prise

there on

your face;

it’s worth

the wait.

(Gsus)Hang the (G)mis tle toe

by the (Am11)fire’s

glow,

put the (G)an gel on

the tree,

light a (Am11)can dle in

the win dow just

for (Dm11)me.

I’ll (G)bring you all

my heart

and soul,

my love,

my hugs

and (D)kiss

I’m

com ing (G)home,

I’m

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?

You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature C, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 62 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
