When I was a child I tried to catch a lace of snow
Watched it melt away,
didn't know, didn't know
The heat of my body was too much I cried
for the beauty that I killed by my touch
I put out my hand to hold the snow But you
can't hold beauty cause it's touch and go
There was this boy I used to know Kissing
him tasted like the new fallen snow
There must be some prayer that can guarantee
Love will never change happy endings for me
I put out my hand to hold the snow But you
can't hold love cause it's touch and go
I sat on her bed,
stroked her soft hair
Her eyes were closed but I knew she was somewhere
with me
I never said the right words but now my tears
Carry all the feelings that I held back for years
Why is it hard to let her go?
Everything in this world is so mortal
There must be some prayer that can
guarantee
She'll be alright,
she is free, she
is free
I saw her last night flying in the snow All the white
ponies were following
And I put out my hand to feel it blow
But I couldn't hold on cause it was so
Touch and go
When I was a child I tried to catch a lace of snow
Watched it melt away,
didn't know, didn't know
You can't hold beauty and you can't hold love
You can't hold life, you can't hold death
And you can't hold wind,
you can't hold time You can't hold
snow cause it's touch and go
