Snowbound

I've misheard song lyrics many times; sometimes I like the originally intended meaning better when I learn it, and other times I prefer my mishearing. My very best and most useful mishearing comes from Donald Fagen's "Snowbound." I heard:

For seven seconds it's like Christmas Day.
Then it's gone again.
Then it starts again.

That is not what is being sung, but I value that sentiment and resort to it every time something dear seems irrevocably lost to me.
