Snow Angel

7. Snow Angel (3:09)

We were two freckled face kids on a farm in New England.

After a storm sometimes we’d slip out to the barn

And there on a blanket of new fallen snow

Flat on our backs, on the ground we would go

waving our legs and our arms in delight.

How I remember those nights!

Make a snow angel for me, make a snow angel for me

They’ll be no snow in the place where I go

Make a snow angel for me.

Remember the night when the blizzard

just buried our town?

There were no cars on the streets and all business shut down.

Out in the parking lot at the high school,

We didn’t care if we looked cool

Just two great big kids in the snow and the ice

When I am gone it would be nice if you’d

make a snow angel for me, make a snow angel for me

They’ll be no snow in the place where I go

Make a snow angel for me.

It’s darker than death tonight out here in the desert.

The air is too still and I’m feeling especially lost.

I took your picture out once more today

I shed a tear then I put it away

I sit all alone in this foreign land

But I know you can hear me, and I’ll bet that you can

make a snow angel for me, make a snow angel for me.

You are my sister, my friend, and my twin.

You know me best, outside and in,

We share the same hair, the same eyes, the same skin.

So after the chores you know where to go –

Out to the barn in the new-fallen snow

Just think of me as you wave to and fro

And make a snow angel for me.
