At the first fall of snow

I talked with a stranger, so sad and alone.
His heart was tormented, tattered and torn
He told me a story,of sorrow and bold
His heart went to heaven,at the first fall of snow

He spooke of his angel, a dear baby girl
He loved every foot tail, 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 has a dolly,that she used to love
He held and caressed it, and gazed up above
He whispered my darlin, 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 full fild, in happier years
His frail body trembled, he spoke soft and low
I’ll bring you your dolly, at the first fall of snow

I just couldn’t tell him how I felt inside
My heart was so heavy,my feelings too high
He smilled as we parted,cause he didn’t know
That we lost our darlin, at the first fall of snow
