Roses in the Snow

I met my darling 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 the cold winds blow

We had sunshine in December

And grew our roses in the snow

Now God has taken my darling

And left me with a memory

One memory I will always cherish

Are these last words he said to me

Our love was like a burning ember

It warmed us as the cold winds blow

We had sunshine in December

And grew our roses in the snow

My darling's buried on the hillside

Where all the wild spring flowers grow

And when the winter snows start falling

On his grave I'll place a rose

Our love was like a burning ember

It warmed us as the cold winds blow

We had sunshine in December

And grew our roses in the snow
