Snow Angel - 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
