Snow Angel -- Ron Sexsmith


                                             
Strange how their love bloomed in the winter
                             
Only to vanish in the spring
                                  
It never fails to make him shiver
                       
To see the outline of her wings

                  
Where she made her last snow angel
               
Little did they know
                
That it’d make a lasting impression
               
Deeper than the snow

In his soul
                           
The snow angel never faded


                                              
And when love calls to make that promise
                                  
The one to be faithful and be true
                                 
It’s then temptation falls upon us
                         
The world turns awkward and aloof

             
And with this betrayal
        
An angel descended from on high
                
Oh, but this was not a manger
              
And as he came inside

To his fright
                             
T’was no angel hanging naked

                                        
Strange how each year ‘round late November
                                  
When the first snow is on the ground
                             
She reappears so he’ll remember
                            
How a love so young can be cut down

                 
When she made her last snow angel
               
Little did they know
                
That it’d make a lasting impression
               
Deeper than the snow

In his soul
                            
The snow angel never faded

In his soul
                       
Snow angel never faded
