Lyrics
When you were a little girl
and the first big flakes would fall,
your eyes would shine as brightly
as those painted on your doll.
No matter if the hour was late
or the wind began to blow
you would ask me “please can I
make angels in the snow?”
Refrain
We’d dress you up in a suit so warm
and outside we would go
and you would show me how to make
angels in the snow, in the snow
angels in the snow.
A simple childhood pleasure,
angels in the snow.
How quickly do our children grow?
Innocence moves fast.
It seems like only yesterday
but so many years have passed.
Your teen years are upon you.
Look how much you’ve grown!
From the little child who loved to make
Angels in the snow.
Repeat Refrain
You’re moving farther every day,
Places I can’t reach.
Crossing deeper rivers,
Bridges I can’t breach.
But if sometimes I’m too busy
running to and fro,
remind me please to take some time
and make angels in the snow.
Final Refrain
And we’ll dress ourselves in suits so warm
and outside we will go
and I’ll remind you how to make in the snow,
Angels in the snow.
A simple childhood pleasure, angels in the snow.
