APRIL SHOWERS
I WONDER IF THE CREATOR
MISSES THE ANGEL SENT DOWN ON APRIL 6, 1993
HE MUST,
IT ALWAYS RAINS THE HARDEST IN APRIL
I FEEL THE STING OF THE SORROW OF HIS TEARS
WHILE STANDING IN APRIL SHOWERS
HEAR HIS DEEP MOAN IN THE BASS OF THE THUNDER
BUT WHENEVER THE LIGHTING DANCES ACROSS THE SKY
I CAN SEE HIM SMILING
WATCHING HER FROM BEYOND THE CLOUDS
AS HIS ANGEL TRANSFORMS A SINNER
THERE IS A SONG IN HER SMILE
THAT BEGAN WHEN I FIRST HELD HER IN SHAKEY ARMS
SUCKED INTO THE RHYTHEM WHEN SHE OPENED HER EYES
MY HEART DANCED THE DANCE OF FATHERS BEFORE ME
THEY TOO HAD HELD ANGELS IN THEIR ARMS
THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THE FIRST TIME A
DAUGHTER LOOKS INTO A FATHERS EYES THAT HE FINDS PEACE
HE LEARNS THAT BUBBLES AND BALLONS HAVE NO AGE RESTRICTIONS
THAT WHITE DRESSES WITH RED CHERRIES, LOOK CUTE ON HER
YES, FATHERS CAN SAY CUTE WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR DAUGHTERS
HE DISCOVERS THE HEALING POWERS OF HER HUGS
CHERISHES HER KISSES AS IF THEY WERE GOLD
IS UNASHAMED TO RELEASE RIVERS WHEN SHE FEELS PAIN
WANTS TO PAINT HER EYES THE COLOR OF RAINBOWS
SO SHE CANT SEE THE DARKNESS OF THE WORLD
ESPECIALLY WHEN HE BE THE REASON
BUT THE SONG IN HER SMILE PLAYS ON
EVEN WHEN A FATHERS EYES ARE CLOSED TO THE WORLD
HIS HEART TURNED COLD
BUT THE SONG IN HER SMILE
REMINDED HIM OF THE ANGEL HE ONCE HELD IN SHAKEY ARMS
APRIL 6, 1993
IT ALWAYS RAINS THE HARDEST IN APRIL
APRIL IS HER MONTH, MY MONTH, OUR MONTH
THE MONTH THE CREATOR ALLOWED A SINNER
TO BECOME A FATHER TO AN ANGEL
