It began on the Eve of Christmas
A pretty girl was dressed in white
On the phone was a single message
That would kill the candlelight
The first man that held her heart
Would never walk her down the isle that day
He slipped away
So she hung her head in grieving
Feeling like all hope was gone
She tried to find one thing to cling to
Just to keep her hanging on
One glance through frosted glass
Brought back a glimpse of yesterday
To make her say

I'll make angels in the snow
And you'll be with me there, I know
'Cause even though you've left this world
I'll still be your little girl

In the room with the gift-wrapped boxes
Trying not to make a stir
She gathered up her father's presents
And the ones he mean't for her
Then the tears began to fall,
As the pain set in she ran outside
And cried and cried

I'll make angels in the snow
And you'll be with me there, I know
'Cause even though you've left this world
I'll still be your little girl

Many years and winters later
Dusty clocks and photographs
Packing up her distant memories
Reminders of her childhood past
One box from sweet sixteen
An old card was marked in Daddy's hand
She read again and again

Go make angels in the snow
I'll be with you there, please know
That even if I leave this world
You'll still be my little girl

I'll make angels in the snow
And you'll be with me there, I know
'Cause even though you've left this world
I'll still be your little girl

Your little girl
