Footprints in the Snow

Footprints in the Snow - Johnny Duncan

Now some folks like the summertime

When the they can walk about

Strolling through the meadow green

It's pleasant there no doubt

But give me the wintertime

When the snow is on the ground

For 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 oh lord

I bless that happy day when nellie lost her way

For i found her when the snow was on the ground

I dropped into 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 through the snow

And 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 oh lord

I bless that happy day when nellie lost her way

For i found her when the snow was on the ground

Now she's up in heaven

With the angel band

Someday i'll go to see her in that promised land

But every time the snow falls it brings back memories

For 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 oh lord

I bless that happy day when nellie lost her way

I found her when the snow was on the ground
