Songtext von Deepening Snow

It's snowing out there in the gloaming I've sat here and watched it all night The kids will be thrilled when they awaken and look at the fields deep and white But the snow makes me think of my darling for he hated the snow and the cold Now he lies in a grave back in Knoxville with a headstone that's just one year old Won't you please make the winter go quick Lord so the flowers around him can grow For I can't stand the thought of my darling lying there in the deepening snow [ ac.guitar ] Little Jimmy climbs up on my knee now says mommie what causes the snow And I tell the wonderful father who cares for us all here below Then I hold him so close and I kiss him and he kissing back doesn't know That my kiss is meant for his daddy lying there in the deepening snow Won't you please make the winter... Lying there in the deepening snow
