"When We Were Snow Angels," A MERRY CHRISTMAS CAROL

VERSE:             

Do you remember when we were snow angels?

With rosy cheeks and mittens and scarves.

The whole world seemed as young as morning.

We stared at heaven, counting the stars.

Frozen feathers beneath the sky,

I swear that’s where we learned to fly. 

Do you remember when we were snow angels? 

 

CHORUS:         

Our breath rose like prayers into the cold air.

Our laughter broke the winter silence. 

Church bells rang from cathedral spires.

We never doubted God’s guidance,

Back when we were snow angels, 

Snow angels, snow angels.

 

VERSE:             

Do you remember when we sang hallelujah?

The hymn came straight from our hearts.

Our voices rang above the hilltops.

The harmony warmed our toes and arms.

Our little wings could never be broken. 

The trials of the future were left unspoken. 

Do you remember when we sang hallelujah?

 

CHORUS:         

Our breath rose like prayers into the cold air.

Our laughter broke the winter silence. 

Church bells rang from cathedral spires.

We never doubted God’s guidance,

Back when we were snow angels, 

Snow angels, snow angels.

 

BRIDGE:          

Don't let me forget as time unfolds. 

May our footprints and wings remain, 

Long after we’ve grown gray and old,

In every snowflake's sweet refrain.

            

CHORUS:         

Our breath rose like prayers into the cold air.

Our laughter broke the winter silence. 

Church bells rang from cathedral spires.

We never doubted God’s guidance,

Back when we were snow angels, 

Snow angels, snow angels.

 

TAG:                

Back when we were snow angels, 

Snow angels, snow angels.

Back when we were snow angels, 

Snow angels, snow angels.

And I could never doubt you.

"Blue Man," A FOLK SONG

VERSE:                                               

His eyes are like the ocean.

His face is like the sea.

His body is like a river.

He's drifting through the life, 

He's been given.

CHORUS:                                           

The blue man stands on the corner,

Holding his broken heart.

Waiting for someone to love him,

So, he doesn't have to be blue anymore.

VERSE:                                               

People pass him by,

Scared of his sapphire skin.

Although they see his pain,

They turn and look,

The other way.

CHORUS:                                           

The blue man stands on the corner,

Holding his broken heart.

Waiting for someone to love him,

So, he doesn't have to be blue anymore.

BRIDGE:                                            

Somebody look into his soul,

Beneath his melancholy color.

A human being exists like no other.

CHORUS:                                           

The blue man stands on the corner,

Holding his broken heart.

Waiting for someone to love him,

So, he doesn't have to be blue anymore.

So, he doesn’t have to be blue anymore.

So, he doesn’t have to be blue anymore.

A channel of grace is

Streaming down from heaven.

A pathway of love,

Of guidance and protection.

Across this barren earth,

But only one way,

Safe passage at the crossings,

A transit for the lost ones.

CHORUS:

When I get to heaven, 

I’ll grow wings and fly.

I’ll be alive for the very first time.

I’ll stand up and sing.

I’ll be everything I never was,

Everything I long to be,

When I get to heaven.

Then, I’ll dance with the girl of my dreams.

I’ll be the first one to say: “I love you,”

And live off of Cookies ‘N’ Cream

If I live another day on planet earth,

I’ll be glad for the time I have left.

As I plan my days away,

I know my time is almost spent.

I’ll grow wings and fly.

Everything I long to be,

When I get to heaven.

I’ll run through the fields with the wind at my back,

And I’ll climb the old Sycamore tree.

I’ll be a good dad with five great kids,

And each one of them looks just like me.

I’ll be waiting for you to finally come home,

And we’ll catch up right where we left off.

Then, I’ll show you all around,

And I’ll stand with you in awe.

When I get to heaven, 

I’ll grow wings and fly.

Everything I long to be,

When I get to heaven.

I always knew eternity existed.

It’s all that I’ve been missing.
