Footprints In The Snow
(Roger Miller / Jerry Elliot)


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

I traced her little footprints through the snow
I found her little footprints in the snow, Lord
I bless that happy day that Nellie lost her way
For I found her when the snow lay on the ground

I dropped in to see her there was a big round moon
Her mama said she just stepped out but she'd be returning soon
I found her little footprints and I traced them through the snow
But I found her when the snow lay on the ground

But I found her little footprints in the snow
I traced her little footprints through the snow, Lord
I bless that happy day that Nellie lost her way
For I found her when the snow lay on the ground

Now she's up in Heaven she's with the angel band
I know I'm going to see her in that happy land
But everytime the snow falls it brings back memories
For I found her when the snow lay on the ground

But I traced her little footprints through the snow
I found her little footprints in the snow, Lord
I bless that happy day that Nellie lost her way
For I found her when the snow lay on the ground

I traced her little footprints through the snow
But I found her little footprints in the snow, Lord
I bless that happy day that Nellie lost her way
For I found her when the snow lay on the ground
