Page by page our lives is written In the master's book above I wonder if he makes an entry For each this darling mother's love Like the one I saw this morning It came in though the station door She was crying softly crying Teardrops falling in the snow Then she came up to the window Passing me her letter through She was waiting for a casket On the train I'll overdue Then she said I'll wait outside sir Soon I know the train will blow I could see her through the window Teardrops falling in the snow -Insturmentals- Then the whistle of the engine Broke the silence of the air As the train was slowly stopping On her lips there was a prayer On the box there was a number And the name was right below As she looked upon the casket Teardrops falling in the snow There's a new made grave a waiting And it's depths are dark and cold Just to claim this mother's darling War for her has taken toll But I know they'll meet up yonder Where God's children all will go And I always will remember Teardrops falling in the snow
