Sweet Sips

 [Verse]

Peppermint dreams in my cup tonight

Hot and sweet makes me feel so right

Nutella swirls mix with the cocoa

Warm and rich where my thoughts flow

[Verse 2]

Steam rises up in a winter's chill

Every sip gives me such a thrill

Candy cane melts sparks delight

Hot chocolate love is pure and bright

[Chorus]

Peppermint nutella hot chocolate bliss

Warm cozy magic in every kiss

Sip it slow let the sweetness stay

In my heart forever this way

[Verse 3]

Curling up with a blanket and a smile

This flavor journey goes on for miles

Whispers of winter in every bite

Sweet sips making cold feel right

[Bridge]

Marshmallows dance on the surface calm

Every note of taste feels like a psalm

Moments of joy in every sip we take

Peppermint nutella memories we make

[Verse 4]

Frosty windows blur the outside view

Inside here dreams are coming true

Hot chocolate in hand we laugh and play

Night turns to magic in this sweet array
