W:A Chidren's Winter
W:Dermot O'Reilly [1942-2007]
W:
W:1. The winter snow is a child's delight,
W:As it brightens up the winter night,
W:And it coats the earth in a cheery white,
W:As it softly drifts upon it.
W:
W:2. The smiling faces watch the ground,
W:As the snow is falling all around,
W:And through the glass there comes no sound,
W:As the snowflakes melt upon it.
W:
W:Chorus:
W:Snowman, snow house, hey, play with me;
W:Shake the snow down from the tree,
W:Games once played by you and me.
W:Snow is softly falling.
W:
W:3.Well the morning comes and the children play,
W:Their laughter rings out through the day,
W:They hope the snow is here to stay,
W:And that it won't be gone tomorrow.
W:
W:4.Sliding, running down the hill,
W:The time for fun is now, but still,
W:When they climb up on life's long hill,
W:They are sure to meet some sorrow.
W:(Chorus, twice)
