[Verse 1]
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 kinds 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 isn't always the way
[Chorus]
Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
All good things, they say, never last
[Verse 2]
Springtime was always my favorite time of year
A time for lovers holding hands in the rain
Now springtime it only reminds me of Tracy's tears
Always cry for love, never cry for pain
He used to say so strong and unafraid
"I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to die"
Now I stare at his picture
And I realize that no one cried the way Tracy cried
No one cried the way Tracy cried
[Chorus]
Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
But all good things, they say, never last
[Verse 3]
I often dream of heaven
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
And maybe one day I'll see Tracy again
[Chorus]
Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
But all good things, they say, never last
All good things, they say, never last
And love, isn't love until it's past

Via a Rolling Stone piece on Ventriloquism:
“I had to make something of him, for [Prince]. I’ve made so much because of him. I still can’t believe he’s not on the planet and this was as close to closure as I’d get.
