Lyrics

I followed footprints in the snow
Never knowing if I was right behind you
Looking down, no one would know
I wasn't walking hand in hand beside you
For your footprints lead the way
To a hearth where hearts we made surround you
You're awash in all it's glow
I'm still standing in the snow

I stood and watched the lights go out
While the snowflakes settled all around me
Though it filled my heart with doubt
I couldn't move and this is where you found me
As our footprints disappeared
Snow erasing how I came to be here
I've got nowhere else to go
Now you're standing in the snow

Look for understanding in the snow
You look just outstanding in the snow
Standing in the snow

Now it's almost christmas eve
And I'm surrounded by the sound of laughter
To give is better than to deceive
For I received a "happy ever after"
You might've left me in the cold
A fitting ending for the fool that I was
You could be cuddled up alone
I'd still be standing in the snow
