Song for a winter's night

Well, I don't have to tell you about the power that music has to bring back a memory. But I may have underestimated it's power before. No longer. When sophie was born it was in the middle of a snow storm. All the streets were white, the rooftops were white, the doctor was late because of the snow. While I waited I listened to this song over and over on the ipod. The slow beat of the song kept my breathing slow. In our house we are not allowed to listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. So this year on the day after thanksgiving my husband played this song for me. I couldn't hold back the tears as I remembered that night with perfect clarity. For me and Sophie this will always be our song.
