[Verse 1]
I met my darling in the springtime
When all the flowers were in bloom
And like the flowers, our love blossomed
We married in the month of June

[Chorus]
Our love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as the cold winds blow
We had sunshine in December
And grew our roses in the snow

[Verse 2]
Now God has taken my darling
And left me with a memory
One memory I will always cherish
Are these last words he said to me

[Chorus]
Our love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as the cold winds blow
We had sunshine in December
And grew our roses in the snow

[Verse 3]
My darling's buried on the hillside
Where all the wild spring flowers grow
And when the winter snows start falling
On his grave I'll place a rose
[Chorus]
Our love was like a burning ember
It warmed us as the cold winds blow
We had sunshine in December
And grew our roses in the snow
