I talked with a stranger so sad and forlorn

His garments were sack cloth 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 have the dolly the one that she used to love

He held and caressed it and he gazed up above

He whispered my darling you're waiting there 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 part of his happier years

His frail bady trembled he spoke soft and low

I'll be with my darling at the first fall of snow.



I just couldn't tell how I felt inside

I patted his shoulder my feeling's too high

He smiled as we partred cause he didn't know

That we both lost our baby at the first fall of snow...
