snowfall

falling
    falling
just like the snow
the pretty white snowfall
    and pain
am i forgiven now?
    bless me...

don't cry, love,
this pain is nothing
    but oh, it hurts...
this blood will wash my soul
your tears will cleanse my heart
don't cry
    it's all right
it's just a flesh wound--
just a scratch
    just...

and for everything
that i did to hurt you
    i was so blind
i swear i'm sorry
so very sorry
if you would ever know
please
don't hate me
i lost track
    i wanted...
but i love you
i love you
    it's better this way

will you remember me
when i've gone
to that special place?
    remember...
will you hold me
in your heart?
bury me
in that bright
white snowfall
hold me in the winter
of your heart
    so cold...so beautiful...
i won't forsake you--
i'll stay with you
forever
no matter what i said
even if i didn't smile
don't ever think
i didn't love you
look
this smile
    this heart
for you

thank you
    my love
for everything
you gave me life
don't cry
    don't cry, please...
you've forgiven me
and given me truth
    ...one...
bless me
just this once
    i won't let go
and don't let go
time is short
    ...two...
i promise
i swear i won't leave you
    i will protect you
even if it's cold
and beautiful
just like you
just like the snowfall
    so pretty
don't cry, love
it's only a flesh wound
just a little scratch...
    ...free...
