Some folks like the summertime when they can walk about Strolling through the meadow green it's fun there's no doubt But give me the wintertime when snow falls all around For i found her when the snow was on the ground Well i traced them footprints in the snow I traced the footprints in the snow I can't forget the day my darling lost her way And i found her when the snow was on the ground Well i dropped in to see her there was a big round moon Her mother said she just stepped out be returnin' soon I found her little footprints and i traced them thru the snow I found her when the snow was on the ground Well i traced them footprints in the snow I traced the footprints in the snow I can't forget the day my darling lost her way And i found her when the snow was on the ground Now she's up in heaven she's with an angel band I know i gonna meet her in that promised land But every time the snow falls it brings back memories For i found her when the snow was on the ground
