The Snows Of New York Lyrics

I can see you now by the light of the dawn,
And the sun is rising slow,
We have talked all night, and I can't talk anymore,
But I must stay and you must go;

You have always been such a good friend to me,
Through the thunder and the rain,
And when you're feeling lost in the snows of New York,
Lift your heart and think of me;

There are those who fail, there are those who fall,
There are those who will never win,
Then there are those who fight for the things they believe,
And these are men like you and me;

In my dream we walked, you and I to the shore,
Leaving footprints by the sea,
And when there was just one set of prints in the sand,
That was when you carried me;

You have always been such a good friend to me,
Through the thunder and the rain,
And when you're feeling lost in the snows of New York,
Lift your heart and think of me.

I've only heard this song recently and I like it, but I don't know what Chris is singing about. LOL Does anyone have any idea what the lyrics mean?

Thanks! Bill

"And when there was just one set of prints in the sand, That was when you carried me" Could be from the poem "Footprints in the Sand" - "During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
