Roses in the Snow

Lyrics:

• I met my darlin' 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 a golden glow
• We had sunshine in December
• And threw our roses in the snow


• Now God has taken my darlin'
• 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 a golden glow
• We had sunshine in December
• And threw our roses in the snow


• My darlin's buried on the hillside
• Where all the wild spring flowers grow
• And when the winter snows start fallin'
• On his grave I'll place a rose


• Our love was like a burning ember
• It warmed us as a cold winds blow
• We had sunshine in December
• And grew our roses in the snow
• Popularized by Emmylou Harris, and was the first song on the album by the same name released in 1980.
