Footprints in the Snow

I was a little shy but now you're here and now I'm fine
Walking with you in the old part of the town
Walking with you in the old part of the town
Morning came it was time to go
We really should have slept but we didn't though

Another new years day, a bookend for the human race
Some people move on and some stay the same
Last night I was realizing I've changed
Standing on a bridge beneath the fireworks
With the only living girl in the universe

And as you walked of in the night
I saw my failures flash before my eyes

I left those demons in the cold
And traced your footprints in the snow
I found you underneath the dawn
In the warm light you appeared to glow
In the Copenhagen night you were beautiful

It seems like yesterday but years have gone and memories fade
Though some will get forgotten others will remain
I'll always carry with me the first bond that we made
When the world was screaming out its final toast
The quietest words still mean the most

And I believe that now a part of me is forever bound
Living with you in the old part of the town
Living with you in the old part of the town
When everything around me make me feel so low
Talking with you is my antidote

And as we walk into the night
We'll try to balance on that narrow line

But should you fall into the storm
I'll trace your footprints in the snow
And I'll remember how you shone
In the warm light you appeared to glow
In the Copenhagen night you were beautiful
