HANK SNOW - AT THE FIRST FALL OF SNOW Lyrics

I talked with a stranger so sad and forlornHis garments were sack cloth all tattered and townHe told me a story of sorrow and woeHis heart went to heaven at the first fall of snowHe spoke of his angel a dear baby girlHe loved every footstep he loved every curlBut she went to heaven just one year agoThe angels came for her at the first fall of snow.He still have the dolly that she used to loveHe held and caressed it and he gazed up aboveHe whispered my darling you're waiting I knowI'll bring you your dolly at the first fall of snow.And there as I listened then my eyes filled with tearsI knew she was part of his happier yearsHis frail body trembled he spoke soft and lowI'll be with my darling at the first fall of snow.I just couldn't tell him how I felt insideI patted his shoulder my feelings to hideHe smiled as we partred cause he didn't knowThat we'd lost our darling at the first fall of snow...
