Winter Songs

The Snowman

One day we built a snowman, We built him out of snow;

You should have seen how fine he was, All white from top to toe.

We poured some water over him, To freeze his legs and ears;

And when we went indoors to bed, We thought he'd last for years.

But, in the night a warmer kind Of wind began to blow;

And Jack Frost cried and ran away, And with him went the snow.

When we went out next morning To bid our friend "Good Day",

There wasn't any snowman there... He'd melted right away!
