Roses In The Snow Lyrics

(Ruth Franks)

I met my darlin` in the springtime 
When all the flowers were in bloom 
And like the flowers our love blossomed 
We married in the month of June 

Our love was like a burning ember 
It warmed us as a golden glow 
We had sunshine in December 
And threw our roses in the snow 
  
Now God has taken my darlin` 
And left me with a memory 
A memory I will always cherish 
Are these last words he said to me 

Our love was like a burning ember 
It warmed us as a golden glow 
We had sunshine in December 
And threw our roses in the snow 
  
My darlin`s buried on the hillside 
Where all the wild spring flowers grow 
And when winter snows start fallin` 
On his grave I`ll place a rose 

Our love was like a burning ember 
It warmed us as cold winds blow 
We had sunshine in December 
And threw our roses in the snow
