( Start cold )

I talked with a stranger - so sad and forlorn
His garments were sackcloth- all tattered and torn
He told me a story - of sorrow and woe
His heart went to heaven- at the first fall of snow

He spoke of his angel- a dear, baby girl
He loved every footstep- he loved every curl
But she went to heaven- just one year ago
The angels came for her- at the first fall of snow

He still had the dolly- that she used to love
He held and caressed it - and gazed up above
He whispered my baby- You're waiting, I know
I'll bring you, your dolly- at the first fall of snow

And there as I listened- my eyes filled with tears
I knew she was part of- his happier years
His frail body trembled- he spoke soft and low
I'll be with my baby- at the first fall of snow

I patted his shoulder- my feelings to hide
He couldn't know- I was crying inside
He smiled as we parted- 'cause he didn't know
That we lost our baby- at the first fall of snow
