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
|
|
Chorus
|
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
|
|
Chorus
|
|
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
|
