"When the Snow Falls" is the first single from the Dutch group Ten Sharp, released in January 1985. The song was written by the band and produced by Michiel Hoogenboezem. The single made it into the Vara's Verrukkelijke 15 charts and entered the Dutch Top 40 Tip-charts at the end of January 1985. The extended version of the song adds an atmospheric intro to the song. Halfway the song there are guitar solos and synth-arpeggios laid on the instrumental basic tracks. The intro is also featured on the version on the album Under the Water-Line.

The B-side "Time and Time" is a heavy dance-track. The song was actually recorded in a demo recording-session, but was remixed for the single.
