One of the most beautiful songs ever

I recently found out about this song, Snow on the Sahara, by Anggun.  I heard the french version first, then when I searched youtube to see who Anggun is, I saw the english version.  What's amazing is, even though Anggun is huge in Europe, this song came out in 1998.  I could have had this song in my life for 12 years now, and i've only just heard it.

Every time I have a new song obsession, I think, wow!  I've heard it all now.  how can it get any better than this?  And yet it does.  We'll never come to the end of great and inspiring and gorgeous music.  Wow.

Snow on the Sahara lyrics
Only tell me that you still want me here
When you wander off out there
To those hills of dust and hard winds that blow
In that dry white ocean alone
Lost out in the desert
You are lost out in the desert
But to stand with you in a ring of fire
I'll forget the days gone by
I'll protect your body and guard your soul
From mirages in your sight
Lost out in the desert

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
I'll be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes, I'll pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the Sahara
If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts
I'll hold you up and be your way out
And if we burn away,
I'll pray the skies above for snow to fall on the Sahara

Just a wish and I will cover your shoulders
With veils of silk and gold
When the shadows come and darken your heart
Leaving you with regrets so cold
Lost out in the desert

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
I'll be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes, I'll pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the Sahara
If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts
I'll hold you up and be your way out
And if we burn away,
I'll pray the skies above for snow to fall on the Sahara
