Текст песни Deepening Snow

(Harlan Howard)

It's snowing out there in the gloaming
I've sat here and watched it all night
The kids will be thrilled when they awaken
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.

Little Jimmy climbs up on my knee now
Says mommie what causes the snow
And I tell 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.

Lying there in the deepening snow...
