If I were a snowman
all white and freezing cold
I'd never plan for hard times
‘cause I’d never get that old

If I were a snowman
standing just outside your door
once conceived in joyous revelry
I'd be thought of no more

If I were a snowman
my fate so abruptly dealt
there'd be no time to love nor hate me
and no mourning when I'd melt

If I were a snowman
my heart just made of snow
there'd be nothing on the inside
That the outside doesn’t show.

If I were a snowman
I'd freeze all your hurt and pain
I’d keep it in my frigid breath
then vanish with the rain.
