"Teardrops Falling In The Snow" lyrics
(originally by Bonnie Lou and The Dixie Partners)
Page by page our life is written
In the Master's book above
Wonder if He makes an entry
For each darling mother's love
Like the one I saw this morning
Enter through the station door
She was crying, softly crying
Teardrops falling in the snow
As she came up to the window
Passing me I let her through
She was waiting for a casket
One draped in red, white and blue
Then she said "I'll wait outside, sir"
Soon I know your train will blow
I could see her through the window
Teardrops falling in the snow
Then the whistle of the engine
Broke the silence in the air
As the train was slowly stopping
On her lips I saw a prayer
On the box there was a number
And the name inscribed below
War had claimed this mother's darling
War for her has taken toll
But I'm sure they'll meet up yonder
Where God's children always go
But I always will remember
Teardrops falling in the snow
In the Master's book above
Wonder if He makes an entry
For each darling mother's love
Like the one I saw this morning
Enter through the station door
She was crying, softly crying
Teardrops falling in the snow
As she came up to the window
Passing me I let her through
She was waiting for a casket
One draped in red, white and blue
Then she said "I'll wait outside, sir"
Soon I know your train will blow
I could see her through the window
Teardrops falling in the snow
Then the whistle of the engine
Broke the silence in the air
As the train was slowly stopping
On her lips I saw a prayer
On the box there was a number
And the name inscribed below
War had claimed this mother's darling
War for her has taken toll
But I'm sure they'll meet up yonder
Where God's children always go
But I always will remember
Teardrops falling in the snow
