A Cold Day In Florida

A cold day in Florida
It happens now and then
To keep our families warm
We lock ourselves within

It gets down to freezing
For just one day or two
We say it just cant happen
We have no coats to use

We cant see through the windows
Ice covers all our views
Not knowing how to drive
Black Ice is something new

We go down to the ocean
The water's ice cold too
The beach is almost empty
Tourist didnt get the news

Now we sit and wait for sunshine
Hope it will come soon
For a cold day in Florida
To us its something new

A cold day in Florida
