Roses in the Snow

I met my darlin' in the springtime
When all the flowers were in bloom
And like the flowers our love blossomed
We married in the month of JuneOur love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as a golden glow
We had sunshine in December
And threw our roses in the snowNow God has taken my darlin'
And left me with a memory
One memory I will always cherish
Are these last words he said to meOur love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as a golden glow
We had sunshine in December
And threw our roses in the snowMy darlin's buried on the hillside
Where all the wild spring flowers grow
And when the winter snows start fallin'
On his grave I'll place a roseOur love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as a cold winds blow
We had sunshine in December
And grew our roses in the snow
