April Snow
written by Marie Fredriksson
produced by Mikael Bolyos
So as you may know, we covered a Marie Fredriksson song—from
the same year and album, in fact—last month, “All About You.” I did
that as Marie’s birthday tribute (the first birthday tribute I made).
As of constructing this page... I just counted, and in my list right now
are 45 Marie Fredriksson songs... 3 in English, all from The Change, her one and only English album.
Depending how many pages you’ve checked out, you may also be aware I was at one time searching for specific songs tailored to each month of the year. For each of the two I chose for January, February and March, I refer you elsewhere on the site. This was one of the two I selected for April. I’ll be including the other eventually as well. So enjoy this one in the meantime; let’s keep Marie’s memory alive. Though we can also do that with another song featuring Marie’s stellar vocals: a recent Roxette song, “April Clouds,” which closed their final album, Good Karma. At the time I was searching all these month-special songs, Good Karma had not been released yet. An absolutely lovely number it is regardless.
Have notes to add? Let me know!

Lyrics
You said it’s six weeks since she left you, uh-huh / And you looked at me with tears in your eyes, mmm / “But I think of her with all of my respect,” you said / I’m always gonna love her, I never will forget her / And she’s always gonna be, a part of me / When April snow is falling / And you wish you were somewhere else / When you wake up in the darkest part of the night / When April snow is falling down / After two bottles of wine, uh-huh, and really late in the night / You said, “I better be going home / I don’t care where I sleep tonight,” you said / I’m always gonna love her, I never will forget her / She’s always gonna be, a part of me / When April snow is falling / And your heart is no longer what it was / When you’re blinded by tears, and you cannot see the sun / When April snow is falling down, ohhh, yeah / Oooh-oooh-oooh, ow-whoa, oh-oh, yeah, yeah / When April snow is falling down / Oooh-oooh ohhh, whoa-oh / When the morning sun (morning sun) keeps you blind (keeps you blind), keeps you blind / When April snow is falling down, ohhh / (April snow is falling down) April snow, falling down, down, down / When April snow is falling down
