Michael Martin Murphey - Pearls In The Snow

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
