Shiver

Falling softly from the sky
Each flake is unique
It makes adults groan with despair
And children scream and shriek

What is this magic substance
That changes our whole world
In one fell swoop a pretty blanket
Has been gloriously unfurled

Don our wellies and snowballs make
Or stay in front of fire and bake
Gather up your carrot and coal
Complete your snowman, make him whole

I love, love, love the snow
Don't know if I've ever told you so

Can we get to the Lickey Hills
It's the perfect place to sledge
A chance to test our mettle
As we push over the edge

Racing down, fast we go
Screaming out so loud
Watch others laughing as they go
As one, a joyous crowd

Leave a snow angel where you lie
Giggle endlessly as you look up at the sky
It's more precious than diamonds or gold
I rarely notice that it's cold

I love, love, love the snow
Don't know if I've ever told you so

Spring is due now, any day
Our last chance of snow has gone away
But I hope next winter the clouds deliver
When I watch it fall, in delight I shiver
