Emmylou Harris Roses In The Snow written by Ruth Franks Tony Rice acoustic guitar Ricky Skaggs banjo/fiddle Albert Lee mandolin Emory Gordy bass Brian Ahern acoustic guitar The Whites vocals I met my darlin in the springtime When all the flowers were in bloom And like the flowers our love blossomed We married in the month of June Our love was like a burning ember It warmed us as a golden glow We had sunshine in December And threw our roses in the snow Now God had taken my darlin And left me with a memory A memory I will always cherish Are these last words he said to me Our love was like a burning ember It warmed us as a golden glow We had sunshine in December And threw our roses in the snow SOLO My darlin's buried on the hillside Where all the wild spring flowers grow And when winter snows start falling On his grave I'll place a rose Our love was like a burning ember It warmed us like a golden glow We had sunshine in December And threw our roses in the snow From Emmylou Harris "Roses In The Snow" Warner Brothers Records 1980 Wynwood Music/Southern Melody Publishing Co.(BMI)
