Verse 1
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
