	Everything beautiful is hard to hold and hard to rhyme.
	Story Behind the Song The song was written in about an hour, on a December day when the snow was falling as it does in the song. Sometimes inspiration just strikes and a composition comes out of you like it was already written, waiting somewhere in the ether to be discovered. Lyrics There's something beautiful 'Bout snowflakes that fall When it's 33 degrees You know they won't last long on the ground But their fragile flight Is still something to see Something beautiful to me And there's something beautiful 'Bout two shooting stars that cross And then cease You know they're just made of handfuls of dust But their rapid rise Is still something to see Something beautiful to me Everything beautiful Is hard to hold and hard to rhyme That's why we're all afraid Of the passage of time But let there be no tension In the present tense As long as you're here And memory exists There's something beautiful About two strangers in the night Who meet Though one day their love or their bodies must die The eternal in your eyes Is still something to see Something beautiful to me Everything beautiful Is hard to hold and hard to rhyme That's why we're all afraid Of the passage of time But let there be no tension In the present tense As long as you're here And memory exists Outside the snow still falls And the stars still smile We may not have forever But we've got a little while Before I'll have to go to work And you to your own bed Remembering something beautiful In every word you said.
