Snowfall on the Sand |
Daddy always said he’d come back when the first snow came |
Bringing treats like Santa Claus on Christmas day |
Momma always said son don’t you get your hopes too high |
Daddy he’s a dreamer reaching for the sky |
Still I waited by the window at Christmas time |
And I sat on the front steps as Easter rolled by |
Then we moved to Arizona 'round the 4th of July |
But Daddy never came I waited just the same |
And they say it never snows in Arizona |
But I never stopped believing that it would |
And before I’d go to sleep at night I’d look up at the desert sky |
Close my eyes the same ole prayer again |
I’d wake up and see the snowfall on the sand |
Part of growing up for me was learning way too soon |
The difference between fantasy and cold hard truth |
Momma liked to say accept those things you cannot change |
She was scared I 'd be like Dad and dream my life away |
But in a corner of my mind I kept a place for him |
Cause a promise lasts forever when you’re just a kid |
Yea he told me in a season he’d be back again |
But Daddy never came I waited just the same |
Bridge |
Last night my Father’s sister called me on the phone |
Said today your father passed away I thought that you should know |
You were the one that he thought of as he left this world behind |
He said tell my boy I’m goning to find a way to |
Come and say goodbye |
And they say it never snows in Arizona |
But I’m looking out my window and it is |
And I swear I can’t believe my eyes to see the desert painted white |
For a moment we’re together once again |
As I see the snowfall on the sand |
