Roses In The Snow

(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
