At The First Fall Of Snow

(专辑： Luke The Drifter, Jr. - 1969)

I talked with a stranger so sad and forlorn
His garments were 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 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 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 knew she was part of his happier years
His frail 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 to hide
He couldn't know I was crying inside
He smiled as we parted 'cause he didn't know
That we lost our baby at the first fall of snow
