Snowfall in Alabama
This song is about a woman who just started a happy life with her husband, when he was sent off to war and never came home. She's shattered and turn, but she learns to appreciate the beauty in the small things in life. No one ever heals from that sort of tragedy, but she learns to cope and figures out ways to still let the happiness in.

She sat and watched the snowfall, down in Alabama
It's something you just don't see every year
Rare like a tame crow, that sits there at a window
Looks heavier when viewing it through tears
Memories that take shape; shadows of a love lost
Come creeping 'cross the fields of frosted wheat
Warming up her cold heart; reflections in the pane
That she runs out there to chase in her bare feet
(Chorus)
Snowfall in Alabama
Usually melts before it lands
And there's no use trying to save it
Just enjoy it while you can
On days like these, far and between
She holds out her little hand
Snowfall in Alabama
Makes her want a second chance
She remembers how he touched her before they sent him over there
How she felt so safe and loved and so complete
How he promised her forever, but then it went away
Brought the castle walls clean down from underneath
Others tried to look upon her, to see her through the darkness
A few were fooled, thought they could see the light
But she wallowed 'round in anguish, living with a stone heart
And for many years thought she would never try
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
And on cold, cold nights, the rain it falls
But it's just not the same
As a picturesque scene, falling snow
Drowning out the thoughts and pain
(Chorus)
She sat and watched the snowfall, down in Alabama
It's something you just don't see every year
