Lyrics
ROSES IN THE SNOW
(Dale Allen/Mark Riddick/Chapin Hartford)
She made it to a small Montana town
Just before the winter storms
Closed the highway down
At night the wind would howl,
She'd think of him and cry it out a while
But spring would bring a smile
Only she and God knew why she really came
She rented one small room
Gave Smith as her last name
Summer turned to fall
Snow fell on the roses by the walk
Where people stopped to talk
Just like roses in the snow
She found that love could grow
Ooohhh, anywhere and everywhere
She'd been left out in the cold
But she found sunshine in her soul
When she looked to Heaven
Like roses in the snow
Now no one knew the secret that she hid
Until she went to buy a blanket and a crib
She gave the child her name
She took off that dime-store wedding ring
She'd bought in Bowling Green
Optional: She let the Savior take her shame
(Chorus)
She sees the children play
And she knows she's come home to stay
(Chorus)
