Story Behind The Song
My wife and I thought that we were going to have a miscarriage. I wrote this as I was preparing myself emotionally for the worst possibility. The good news is that months later
we have a healthy baby boy.

Lyrics
SNOWFLAKE
A time of hope, a brand new season
- At least it was for me.
But winter brings its bounty
Of possibility.
A snowflake formed in mid-December.
It surely was unique.
We wondered, 'Could it hang on
-or would it be too weak?'
Snowflake
We wanted you to stay
To ride the wind and play
And brighten up our day.
Within its natural surroundings
Our snowflake was secure.
And with the right conditions
We thought it would endure.
Snowflake
We wanted you to stay
To ride the wind and play
And brighten up our day.
What was conceived in mid-December
Was destined for defeat.
And like the snowflake in the setting sun
It melted in the heat.
Snowflake
We wanted you to stay
To ride the wind and play
And brighten up our day.
Snowflake
We're sad you couldn't stay
And January turned gray
The day you melted ... a-a-a-a-a - way.
