C
It's snowing out there in the moon light
F
I've sat here and watched it all night
G7
The kids will be thrilled in the morning
C
And look at the fields deep and white
[Verse 2]
But the snow makes me think of my daddy
F
For he hated the snow and the cold
G7
Now he lies in a grave here in Galway
C
With a headstone that's just one year old
[Chorus]
Won't you please make the winter go quick Lord
F
So the flowers around him can grow
G7
For I can't stand the thought of my daddy
C
Lying there in the deepening snow
[Verse 3]
Little Jimmy climbs up on my knee now
F
Saying daddy what causes the snow
G7
And I tell of the wonderful father
C
Who cares for us all here below
[Verse 4]
Then I hold him so close and I kiss him
F
And the kiss he gives back doesn't know
G7
That my kiss is meant for my daddy
C
Lying there in the deepening snow
[Chorus]
Won't you please make the winter go quick Lord
F
So the flowers around him can grow
G7
For I can't stand the thought of my daddy
C
Lying there in the deepening snow
G7
For I can't stand the thought of my daddy
C
Lying there in the deepening snow
