Footprints in the Snow

[Intro]
[Violin intro
Soft
Trembling]
Snow on the sidewalk
Breath in the air
[Verse 1]
Strong wind
Shakes the old pine
You pull your coat tight
Slip your hand in mine
Our boots
Leave a crooked line
Little dark ovals
In a world of white
[Chorus]
The footprints in the snow
They won’t last forever
By morning they’ll be gone
Like they were never there
But my love for you
My love for you
My love for you will
[Verse 2]
Streetlamp
Catching in your hair
You laugh at nothing
Like it’s all we share
You say
“Will this even stay?”
I watch our tracks fade
As the night turns gray
[Chorus]
The footprints in the snow
They won’t last forever
By morning they’ll be gone
Like they were never there
But my love for you
My love for you
My love for you will
[Bridge]
Everything melts
Everything moves
But I keep this moment
Pressed inside of you
Every cold day
Every small chill
You’ll know in your bones
(yeah)
My love for you still
[Chorus]
The footprints in the snow
They won’t last forever
By morning they’ll be gone
Like they were never there
But my love for you
My love for you
My love for you will
[Outro]
[Violin and guitar fade
Almost a whisper]
Snow on the sidewalk
Your hand in mine

Slow-burning acoustic ballad with male vocals, intimate and close-mic, almost spoken in the verses. Solo violin intro that returns as a haunting countermelody in the chorus. Fingerpicked electric guitar and deep, warm bass laying a gentle pulse; brushed snare entering on the second chorus. Subtle string pads bloom on key emotional lines, ending in a sparse guitar-and-violin outro that lingers., vocal, violin, slow, low, strong, deep, electric
