Deepening Snow Lyrics - Connie Smith

It's snowing out there in the gloaming I've sat here and watched it all night 

The kids will be thrilled when they awaken and look at the fields deep and white 

But the snow makes me think of my darling for he hated the snow and the cold 

Now he lies in a grave back in Knoxville with a headstone that's just one year old 

Won't you please make the winter go quick Lord so the flowers around him can grow 

For I can't stand the thought of my darling lying there in the deepening snow 

[ ac.guitar ] 

Little Jimmy climbs up on my knee now says mommie what causes the snow 

And I tell the wonderful father who cares for us all here below 

Then I hold him so close and I kiss him and he kissing back doesn't know 

That my kiss is meant for his daddy lying there in the deepening snow 

Won't you please make the winter... 

Lying there in the deepening snow
