Lyrics
Like April Snow
Verse 1
Snow fell one night in the spring.
Whiteness covered almost everything
There was beauty and sunshine, the perfect day.
But hiding what was real - it would never stay
Verse 2
But at the time it felt that it had always been there
Thought it would stay for ever hanging in the air
Like a glacier frozen for a thousand years.
But it melted fast with many hot tears
Verse 3
In the end it stayed for no time at all.
I didn’t see it melting as soon as it would fall
It was disappearing completely without a trace.
Soon all was forgotten. I couldn’t picture your face
Bridge
After the snow came the rain and the sun.
Time passed. Soon summer was gone
The autumn and winter came, the weather turned cold.
Many years passed and the young became old
Verse 4
But still I think back to what might have been
If the April snow had stayed with its silvery sheen
It never fell again, for me it just rained instead
And I wonder will you ever get out of my head
Get out of my head
