Lay your body down upon the midnight snow   Feel the cold of winter in your hair   Here, in a world of your own, in a casing that's grown   To a children's delight that arrived overnight      And here they come to play their magic games   Carving names upon your frozen hand   Here in a world of your own, like a sleeper whose eyes   Sees the pain with surprise, as it smothers your cries      They'll never, never know      Hey, there's a snowman, hey, hey, what a snowman   Pray for the snowman, ooh, ooh, what a snowman   They say a snow year's a good year   Filled with the love of all who lie so deep      Smiling faces tear your body to the ground   Covered red that only we can see   Here, in a ball that they made from the snow on the ground   See it rolling away wild eyes to the sky      They'll never, never know      Hey, there's a snowman, hey, what a snowman   Pray for the snowman, ooh, ooh, what a snowman   They say a snow year's a good year   Filled with the love of all who lie so deep      Hey, there goes the snowman, hey, there what a snowman   Hey, there lies the snowman, hey, he was a snowman   They say a snow year's a good year   Filled with the love of all who lie so deep      Hey, there goes the snowman, hey, hey, there what a snowman   Hey, there lies the snowman, hey, he was a snowman
