Jimmie Dale Gilmore & The Wronglers Footprints In The Snow lyrics

Now some folks like the summertime
When 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
I found her when the snow was on the ground

I traced her little footprints in the snow
I found her little footprints in the snow
I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way
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 would be returning soon

I found her little footprints

And I traced them in the snow
I found her when the snow was on the ground

I traced her little footprints in the snow
I found her little footprints in the snow
I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way
I found her when the snow was on the ground

Now she's up in heaven with the angel band
I know I'm going to meet her in that happy land
But every time the snow falls, it brings back memories
I found her when the snow was on the ground

I found her little footprints in the snow
I traced her little footprints in the snow
I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way
I found her when the snow was on the ground
