originally written by Lorene Rose

lyrics

I talked with a stranger, so sad and forlorn
He was dressed in sackcloth, 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 ev'ry footstep, he loved ev'ry 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, you're 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 know she was best part of his years
His 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 I'd hide
He couldn't know I was dying inside
He smiled as we parted, 'cause he did not know
I too, had lost my baby, at the first fall of snow
