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
With wild eyes to the sky
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.

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
