Snow Angel Lyrics - Over The Rhine

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
