Snow Day

She’s sitting in her rocking chair
Singing a song, combing her hair
I’m half asleep in her lap
Looking at books of photographs
And I know she’s already gone
Dreaming of work and moving on
Listing her endless things to do
So she can buy us toys and shoes
Don’t go away
Tomorrow’s a snow day
So you have to stay
Time seems to stop in her rocking chair
And she’s not like anyone anywhere
And I could just sit here for ages and ages
She’s pointing out friends and turning the pages
I know it’s just mid-July
But we can pretend that it’s all white outside
Cause soon comes September and soon comes the fall
And winter will pass like it’s nothing at all
Don’t go away
Tomorrow’s a snow day
So you have to stay
But time is all we have
Time is all we have
Time is all we have
And then it’s gone
So I’m sitting in your rocking chair
Singing a song, and combing my hair
And nothing can bring those memories back
Like looking at books of photographs
Don’t go away
Tomorrow’s a snow day
So you have to stay
