Lyrics

ANGELS IN THE SNOW
Words and Music by Allan Corby © 2022

A D A
It was Christmas morning when the snow began to fall
B7 E
I looked out my window at the wonder of it all
D A C#7 F#m
I turned round and asked my dad if I could go out and play
D A F#m E7 A
He said, "Better bundle up, better bundle up, it's a cold, cold,cold,cold day"

I hurried up to go outside to find the snow was deep
Not so very deep I thought, not too deep for me
I lay down on the snowy ground and played til I was done
I was cold, but who cared, I was having too much fun
I made those

D Amaj7
Snow angels, angels in the snow
D E7
Snow angels, lined up in a row
D A C#7 F#m
Snow angels, everybody knows
D Dm6
It's a magical Christmas time
E7 A
For angels in the snow

Then I was a grown-up dad with children of my own
Who loved the white of Christmas and the magic that it sowed
My kids put on their puffy coats of goose and eider down
And just like I did years ago on the snowy ground
They made those

CHORUS

Now my children's children come to me and say,
"Grandpa can we go outside into the snow and play?"
D A F#m D E7 A
And this is what I told them on that wondrous Christmas day
Go make those...

CHORUS
