Lyrics
I sit upon my worn out chair
And wonder at how the years moved on,
Staring through the crystal vase
And a rose in bloom now gone
Chorus
And now I know
That memories go
Like snowflakes in the sun
And so I'll pray
Each passing day
If I could only hold on to one
Snowflake, my only one
The years just seem to slip away
And memories fade of my true love
I'll not forget the day we first met
Though darkness waits beyond
It's the memory of my true love
And the day that we first met.
Chorus
And so I'll wait on my chair
And wonder where Snowflakes gone.
