Pearls in the Snow - Michael Martin Murphey

In the love we knew

Why was I untrue?

Will I ever find a love like yours again?

For Christmas, girl, I gave you a string of pearls

Hoping you’d forgive my faithless wandering

But you turned away and said you cannot buy my love

And threw the pearls into the falling snow

Pearls in the snow

So hard to find

Shining love that we have lost

It should be yours and mine

But I will never give up

No, I just can’t let go

I’ll keep right on searching for

Pearls in the snow

Love is a strand

Precious moments in your hand

Once broken they’re not easily found

One by one life’s pearls come undone

And fall like frozen tears upon the ground

Scattered in time by a cold jealous wind

We may never string together again

Those pearls in the snow

So hard to find

Shining love that we have lost

That should be yours and mine

But I will never give up

I just can’t let go

I’ll keep right on searching for

Pearls in the snow

I’ll keep right on searching for

Pearls in the snow
