Footprints In The Snow

Some folks like the summertime when the they can walk about Strolling through the meadow green it's pleasant, there's no doubt But give me the wintertime when the snow is on the ground For I found her when the snow was on the ground Oh, I traced her little footprints in the snow I found her little footprints in the snow, Lord I bless that happy day that Nellie lost her way For I found her when the snow was on the ground I dropped in to see her, there was a big round moon Her mother said she just stepped out but she'd 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 ground Oh, I traced her little footprints in the snow I found her little footprints in the snow, Lord I bless that happy day that Nellie lost her way For I found her when the snow was on the ground Now 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 ground Oh, I traced her little footprints in the snow I found her little footprints in the snow, Lord I bless that happy day that Nellie lost her way For I found her when the snow was on the ground
