Snow Angel

Once upon a winter
It seems so long ago
My one and only love and I
Fell down upon the snow
And as the dusk was falling
From our gray and goose down sky
We heard the old cathedral bells
Ring out our lullaby
Snow angel, snow angel
Someday I'm gonna fly
This cold and broken heart of mine
Will one day wave goodbye
Goodbye to this cruel wicked world
And all the tears I've cried
Snow angel, snow angel
I'll meet you in the sky
The rumors of a distant war
Called my true love's name
He packed his leather suitcase
And spoke no word of blame
We walked awhile together
I tried to hide my fear
He told me not to be afraid
And whispered in my ear
Snow angel, snow angel
Someday I'm gonna fly
This cold and broken heart of mine
Will one day wave goodbye
Goodbye to this cruel wicked world
And all the tears I've cried
Snow angel, snow angel
I'll meet you in the sky
They brought my love home from the war
In a cart pulled by white mules
The Christmas bells rang out that day
Oblivious as fools
And as the snow began to fall
I kissed his frozen face
They told me in his woolen coat
His last few words were placed
Snow angel, snow angel
Someday I'm gonna fly
This cold and broken heart of mine
Will one day wave goodbye
Goodbye to this cruel wicked world
And all the tears I've cried
Snow angel, snow angel
I'll meet you in the sky
