It's snowing out there in the gloaming, I've sat here and watched it all night. Little kids will be thrilled when they wake up and look at the fields deep and white. But the snow makes me think of my darling, how she hated the snow and the cold. Now she lies in a grave back in Knoxville, with a headstone that's just one year old. Please make the winter go quicker, so the flowers around her can grow. I can't stand the thought of my darling, lying there in the deepening snow. Little Nancy climbs up on my knee now, and I guess she's much too young to know that the kiss I give is really for her mother, lying there in the deepening snow. Please make the winter go quicker, so the flowers around her can grow. I can't stand the thought of my darling, lying there in the deepening snow. Lying there in the deepening snow.
