"Old Man Winter," A MERRY CHRISTMAS CAROL

VERSE:

Old Man Winter

Calls throughout the storm

Billowing the fields

He can't find a place that’s warm

He forgot that summer ever existed

Somehow he's never heard of Christmas

Old Man Winter

  

VERSE:       

Old Man Winter

Looks at clouds across the sky

He doesn’t know they’re angels

Oh, how springtime passed him by

His frozen bones are harsh and bitter

Sunshine doesn't make him reconsider

Old Man Winter  


CHORUS:    

He pulls up his woolen coat

He straightens the hat on his head

He tightens his scarf at his throat

There’s still time for him to be merry instead

Old Man Winter

  

VERSE:       

Old Man Winter

Might crack like frigid ice

Wrinkles in his heart

Never want to take advice

But sometimes the wind blows a warning:

Better melt like frost on a brilliant morning

Old Man Winter

   

CHORUS:            

He pulls up his woolen coat

He straightens the hat on his head

He tightens his scarf at his throat

There’s still time for him to be merry instead

Old Man Winter, Old Man Winter


BRIDGE:

If he wanders long enough, 

There might be a radiant spark

He could find a snow woman 

Who will kiss him in the dark

    

CHORUS:   

Old Man Winter

Calls throughout the storm

Billowing the fields

He can't find a place that’s warm

He forgot that summer ever existed

Somehow he's never heard of Christmas

Old Man Winter

   

TAG:            

There’s still time for him to be merry instead

There’s still time for him to be merry instead

Old Man Winter, Old Man Winter
