Footprints in the Snow Lyrics

Now some folks like the summertime when the they can walk about
Strolling through the meadow green it's pleasant there, no doubt
But give me the wintertime when the snow is on the ground
For I found her when the snow was on the groundI traced her little footprints in the snow
I found her little footprints in the snow, oh Lord
I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way
For I found her when the snow was on the groundI dropped into see her there was a big round moon
Her mother said she just stepped out but would be returning soon
I found her little footprints and I traced them through the snow
And I found her when the snow was on the groundI traced her little footprints in the snow
I found her little footprints in the snow, oh Lord
I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way
For I found her when the snow was on the groundNow she's up in Heaven, she's with the angel band
I know I'm going to meet her in that promised land
But every time the snow falls it brings back memories
For I found her when the snow was on the groundI traced her little footprints in the snow
I found her little footprints in the snow, oh Lord
I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way

For I found her when the snow was on the ground
