Snowfall On The Sand Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Daddy always said he'd come
back when the [G]first snow came
[Am]Bringing treats like Santa Claus
on [F]Christmas day
Momma [C]always said son don't
you get your [G]hopes too high
[Am]Daddy he's a dreamer
[C]reaching [F]for the sky
Still I [Am]waited by the win[G]dow
at [C]Christmas [F]time
And I [Am]sat on the front s[G]teps
as [C]Easter rolled [F]by
Then we [Am]moved to Arizon[G]a
[C]'round the 4th of Ju[F]ly
But Daddy never [Dm]came I waited just
the [Gsus4]same[G]

[Verse 2]
[Chorus:] [G]And they
say it never [F]snows in Arizona
[C]But[Am] I never st[G]opped believing[F]
that [C]it would[G]
And before I'd go [F]to sleep at night
I'd [C]look up at the [F]desert sky
Close my [Dm]eyes [C]the same
ole prayer [F]again
I'd wake up and see the snow
[Gsus4]fall on t[G]he sand[C]

[Verse 3]
[C]
Part of growing up for me was
[G]learning way too soon
[Am]The difference between fantasy
and [F]cold hard truth
Momma [C]liked to say accept those
things you [G]cannot change
She was [Am]scared I 'd [Asus4]be like
[Am]Dad and dream my l[F]ife away
But in a [Am]corner of my [G]mind I
kept [C]a place [F]for him
Cause a [Am]promise lasts [G]forever
when you're [C]just a [F]kid
Yea he [Am]told me in a sea
[G]son he'd be [C]back [F]again
But Daddy never [Dm]came I waited just the [Gsus4]same

[Verse 4]
[Chorus] [F]Last
night my Father's sister
called me on the phone
Said [C]today your father [Dm]passed away I
[C]thought that you should [Dm]know
[C]You were the [Bb]one that he thought of
as he [F]left this world behind
He said tell my boy I'm goning to
find a way to
[Gsus4]Come and say good[G]bye
[C][G]

[Verse 5]
And they say it never
[F]snows in [C]Arizona
[Am]But I'm look[G]ing out my
[F]window and [C]it is[G]
And I swear I can't believe [F]my eyes
[C]to see the desert [F]painted white
For a [Dm]mo ment we're to
[C]gether once [F]again
As I see the snow[G]fall on the [C]sand
