Footprints In The Snow

 
    D                       G                            D
Now some folks like the summertime when the they can walk about
     D                      G                             D
Strolling through the meadow green it's pleasant there no doubt
                                     G              D
But give me the wintertime when the snow is on the ground
            G             A          D
For I found her when the snow on the ground

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

                     G                        D
I dropped in to see her there was a big round moon
                           G                               D
Her mother said she just stepped out but would be returning soon
                    G                                 D
I found her little footprints and I traced them in the snow
                     G         A       D
I found her when the snow was on the ground

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