Teardrops Falling In The Snow

Page by page our lives are written in the Master’s book above

Wonder if He makes an entry for each darling mother’s love

Like the one I saw this morning enter though the station door

She was crying softly crying teardrops falling in the snow

As she came up to the window passing me I let her through

She was waiting for a casket one draped in red white and blue

Then she said I’ll wait outside sir soon I know your train will blow

I could see her through the window teardrops falling in the snow

Then the whistle of the engine broke the silence of the air

As the train was slowly stopping upon her lips I saw a prayer

On the box there was a number and the name was right below

As she looked upon the casket teardrops falling in the snow

There’s a new made grave a waiting and it’s depths are dark and cold

Just to claim this mother’s darling war for her has taken toll

But I’m sure they’ll meet up yonder where God’s children always go

And I always will remember teardrops falling in the snow
