She said, "Daddy let's make snow angels, Before the snow begins to melt" She couldn't have known how much she'd grown And the pride that her daddy felt She was ten years old going on twenty And her angels were always the best But I'd let her win just to see her grin I'll bet you've already guessed Her angels would always disappear In the Spring, Summer and Fall But before Winter came I learned a new name When leukemia came to call I would sit with her, beside her bed As the snow came tumbling down She said, "Daddy can you see, she's as pretty as can be, In her beautiful snow white gown When I looked around the empty room My little girl closed her eyes "My snow angel's here" she whispered so dear And then my little girl dies She said, "Daddy let's make snow angels, Before the snow begins to melt" She couldn't have known how much she'd grown And the pride that her daddy felt
