( Start cold )

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
