Lyrics
Snow Angel
Lyrics and Music David B. Williams Jr.
I met an angel on a path,
Surrounded all in white.
His name, he never said to me
I hadn't thought he might.
Though he, depressed and silent,
I happied at the sight,
And watched at angles following,
Toward a raucous bright.
A group of children played ahead,
And laughing as I passed,
I child-reflected winter days,
And angels in my past.
I walked along much greater than,
The man just moments last.
All day they played,
More angels made,
'til Mother's whistle blast.
