Wintersong

I have been enjoying the album "Wintersong" by Sarah McLachlan. I hadn't listened to every song yet but today I listened to the title track and it is beautiful but it made me cry.

Wintersong - Sarah McLachlan



Wintersong

Sarah McLachlan


The lake is frozen over
The trees are white with snow
And all around
Reminders of you
Are everywhere I go

It's late and morning's in no hurry
But sleep won't set me free
I lie awake and try to recall
How your body felt beside me
When silence gets too hard to handle
And the night too long

And this is how I see you
In the snow on Christmas morning
Love and happiness surround you
As you throw your arms up to the sky
I keep this moment by and by

Oh I miss you now, my love
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas, my love

Sense of joy fills the air
And I daydream and I stare
Up at the tree and I see
Your star up there

And this is how I see you
In the snow on Christmas morning
Love and happiness surround you
As you throw your arms up to the sky
I keep this moment by and by

Oh, but what beauty in the sadness--"love and happiness surround you." like a prayer, a blessing, as well as a memory. Thank you for trusting your readers with this.

A very sad but beautiful song. It is snowing here in Kansas today and seeing this post yesterday, it made me think of your Nathan today. I hope it snows in heaven and your sweet boy can have a blast in it. I remember Nathan always loved to play in the snow.
