Deepening Snow

It's snowing out there in the gloaming
I've sat here and watched it all night
The kids will be pleased when they awaken
And see all the fields snowy white
But the snow makes me think of my darling
Cause 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
Oh please make the winter go quick Lord
So the flowers around him will grow
Cause I can't stand the thought of my darling
Lying there in the deepening snow
[ steel ]
Little Bobby climbs up on my knee now
And says mommie what causes snow
And I tell of the wonderful father
Who watches us all here below
And then I hold him so close and I kiss him
And he kissin' back doesn't know
That my kiss was meant for his daddy
Lying there in the deepening snow
Oh please make the winter go quick Lord...
