Once upon a winter
It seems so long ago
My one and only love and I
Fell down upon the snowAnd as the dusk was falling
From our gray and goose down sky
We heard the old cathedral bells
Ring out our lullabySnow angel, snow angel
Someday Im gonna fly
This cold and broken heart of mine
Will one day wave goodbyeGoodbye to this cruel wicked world
And all the tears Ive cried
Snow angel, snow angel
Ill meet you in the skyThe rumors of a distant war
Called my true loves name
He packed his leather suitcase
And spoke no word of blameWe walked a while together
I tried to hide my fear
He told me not to be afraid
And whispered in my earSnow angel, snow angel
Someday Im gonna fly
This cold and broken heart of mine
Will one day wave goodbyeGoodbye to this cruel wicked world
And all the tears Ive cried
Snow angel, snow angel
Ill meet you in the skyThey brought my love home from the war
In a cart pulled by white mules
The Christmas bells rang out that day
Oblivious as foolsAnd as the snow began to fall
I kissed his frozen face
They told me in his woolen coat
His last few words were placedSnow angel, snow angel
Someday Im gonna fly
This cold and broken heart of mine
Will one day wave goodbyeGoodbye to this cruel wicked world
And all the tears Ive cried
Snow angel, snow angel
Ill meet you in the sky
