Old 97's - Snow Angels Lyrics






The snow fell like a peace treaty
On the fields of wheat, on the streets of the city
We all came together and we all felt the joy
From the oldest grandmother to the littlest boy

We were on and on
On Christmas morn
We were just wakin' up
It was the crack of dawn

Look to your left, look to your right
Everyone of us is a beam of light
Together we're strong, there's no need to fight
Everyone of us is a beam of light

Snow fell not a moment too soon
On the young homeless man, on the old tycoon
We're all singin' as one out here in the snow
Beneath the risin' sun there's no place to go

Look to your left, look to your right
Everyone of us is a beam of light
Friends all around, not a villain in sight
Everyone of us is a beam of light
We're all singin' this mornin' after a silent night
Everyone of us is a beam of light

We are snow angels
We are snow angels
We are snow angels
We are snow angels

Old 97's Snow Angels Comments

    I heard this song for the first time last Friday at their Christmas show in Kalamazoo. As it was starting the lady next to me said, "think of the Who's down in Whoville."
    The lyrics being somewhat obscured by the overwhelming sound and experience I didn't get it at first.

    What a sweet song for this time on Earth. Well done, Rhett and well played gentlemen. I hope this gets a lot of play among the Christmas tunes this year. Every one of us is a beam of light indeed.

  3. A.... G....

    Seen them too many times to count. Love everything Rhett and Old 96's create. Such an intoxicating voice and ebullient sound. Love, love, love!!!

    A.... G....

    That's an untrue statement. I've see Cheap Trick 38 times. Why don't you know how many times you've seen the 97's? I believe you've seen them a few times, you just don't want the real number to sound to low or unbelievable

    @43Aquaman apparently the snow fell like a giant, gaping asshole.

    "The snow fell, like a peace treaty" Damn Rhett's still got those brilliant one liners. The most underrated songwriter in the most underrated band of the last 20 years

    R.... T....

    Robert Taylor could not agree more.

    R.... T....

    Agreed! And he certainly *looks* thoughtful in that picture! 😉
