The lyrics from the sheet music are significantly different, so I'll post them here:

TILL THE SNOW-FLAKES COME AGAIN
Gussie L. Davis, 1887.

1. I'm lonely tonight as I sit by the fire,
Thinking of one far away,
Reading old letters I've treasured from him
Who was to have been here today.
Oh! if I could hear his footsteps at the door,
My heart would not languish in pain.
I know he will come, for his last words were, "Wait
Till the snowflakes come again."

CHORUS: Till the snowflakes come again,
Will you think often of me?
After days of weary pain,
I will return, little bright eyes.
Kiss me, darling, ere we part;
Sunshine will follow the rain.
Keep me always in your heart
Till snowflakes come again.

2. Today I was glad when I saw the snow fall
And the pearly flakes fly through the air.
I thought of my darling, my lov'd one, my all.
I knew it was time he was here.
I long for his presence once more in this room,
And hear him say, "Love, I'll remain;"
For sad was the hour when he left me to mourn
Till the snowflakes come again.
