|
I talked with a stranger, so sad and alone. |
|
His Garments were sackled, all tattered and torn |
|
He told me a story,of sorrow and woe |
|
His heart went to heaven,at the first fall of snow |
|
He spoke of his angel, a dear baby girl |
|
He loved every footstep, he loved every curl |
|
But she went to heaven, just one year ago |
|
The angels came for her, at the first fall of snow |
|
He still had the dolly, that she used to love |
|
He held and caressed it, and gazed up above |
|
He whispered my baby, your waiting I know |
|
I'll bring you your dolly, at the first fall of snow |
|
And there as I listened, my eyes filled with tears |
|
I knew she was part of, his happier years |
|
His frail body trembled, he spoke soft and low |
|
I'll be with my baby, at the first fall of snow |
|
I patted his shoulder, my feelings to hide |
|
He couldn't know, I was crying inside |
|
He smiled as we parted, cause he didn't know |
|
That we lost our baby, at the first fall of snow |
