Along time ago this man was outside building a snowman with his children.
He always said that one day when he dies, he wants to come back to the place where everything begins.
It all began with that snowman and ice skating in the park.
Everything always happens when the lights go down, and sitting in the dark.
There was an accident and daddy never came home.
The police had called us, and daddy passed away, he was alone.
I saw the look on mommy's face, as tears fell down her cheek.
The words she uttered, were broken and she could not speak.
She said " daddy isn't coming home tonight " and she crawled into her bed.
Her 3 youngsters crawled up beside her, and the oldest said, " is daddy dead?"
Grandma came by to help take care of the children.
Mama doesn't believe it was really him.
A year passed by and it was the first fallen snow.
Oh how the children did grow.
Nothing stopped them from going outside and building a snowman.
When it was done, there was a glow of happiness where he stands.
They believed that their dads spirit was inside.
Every time one of them would touch it, their hands would slide.
It's like he came back to say goodbye.
