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