"Sometimes It Snows In April" lyrics

"Sometimes It Snows In April"
(from "Parade" soundtrack)

Tracy died soon after a long fought civil war
Just after I wiped away his last tear
I guess he's better off than he was before
A whole lot better off than the fools he left here
I used to cry for Tracy 'cause he was my only friend
Those kind of cars don't pass you every day
I used to cry for Tracy 'cause I want to see him again
But sometimes, sometimes, life ain't always the way

Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so bad (So bad)
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
And all good things, they say, never last

Springtime was always my favorite time of year
A time for lovers holding hands in the rain
Now springtime only reminds me of Tracy's tears
Always cry for love, never cry for pain
He used to say so strong, unafraid to die
Unafraid of the death that left me hypnotized
No, staring at his picture, I realized
No one could cry the way my Tracy cried

Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so bad
Sometimes, sometimes I wish that life was never ending
And all good things, they say, never last

I often dream of heaven and I know that Tracy's there
I know that he has found another friend
Maybe he's found the answer to all the April snow
Maybe one day I'll see my Tracy again

Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so bad (So bad)
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
And all good things, they say, never last

All good things, they say, never last
And love, it isn't love until it's passed
