It's snowing out there in the gloaming
I've sat here and watched it all night
The kids will be thrilled when they waken
And look at the fields deep and white
But the snow makes me think of my darling
For 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
Won't you please make the winter go quick
Lord so the flowers around him can grow
For I can't stand the thought of my
Darling lying there in the deepening snow
ย
Little Jimmy climbs up on my knee
Now saying mommy what causes the snow
And I tell of the wonderful father who cares for us all here below
Then I hold him so close and I kiss
Him and he kissing back doesn't know
That my kiss is meant for his daddy lying there in the deepening snow
Won't you please make the winter go quick
Lord so the flowers around him can grow
For I can't stand the thought of my
Darling lying there in the deepening snow
Out there in the deepening snow
