"Same Old Lang Syne" by Dan Fogelberg

It is always freaks me out when I find a song like this that I would swear I'd already posted.  How could I have missed a song like this.  This song just always touched something in me.

The video telling the (true) story behind the song is cool.  Bringing back memories and wondering how different your life would be if we had made a different choice at some point in the past...

Naturally, I can't help but wonder what my life would have been like if I had grown up as a girl.  But I can't regret my life, even though I hated who I was,  it was good.  And now that I'm Rachel it's great!

Anyway, here is a newspaper article about the story:

Since I cry with this song, I thought perhaps the "the snow turned into rain" was a metaphor for his tears being the rain.  But the one video shows a letter where Dan replied and said that was another true part of the snow really did turn to rain.
