Frosty the snowman

Frosty the Snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairytale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day

There must have been some magic
In that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around

Frosty the Snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say
He could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me

Frosty the Snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said let's run
And we'll have some fun
Now before I melt away

Down to the village
With a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there all around the square
Saying catch me if you can

He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler stop

Frosty the Snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye
Saying don't you cry
I'll be back again some day

Thumpety thump thumpThumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpety thump thumpThumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow

Another week to christmas day. Its a joyous occassion to rejoice, making merry and singing christmas songs. Of all the songs, frosty the snowman is the one I love the most. The tune and lyrics are catchy and simple. Yet, it is from the simplicity that the message carried across touches the heart of those who listen to it and sings to its tune. It tells the tale of magical incidents where a snowman comes to life and makes merry, playing catch with children. The eenchanting tale brings life and colour to our world, giving us a chance for our imagination to run wild and to believe in something, something like a snowman coming to life. Is it not delightful to hear of such a miracle? It touches me deeply, i feel the warmth to my inner soul when frosty knows that he won't last long but he just don't give a hell of a hack to it.

"Frosty the Snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said let's run
And we'll have some fun
Now before I melt away"

He knew that he would melt and cease to exist but he didn't lament about it. Instead, he chose to bring joy to the world and play catch with the children. He was so lively and he ran all over the place, not like of anything near to a dying man. Perhaps life is short, but so what's wrong with that? Frosty has shown us how we should lead our lives, to treasure every second, minute and hour we have. No matter how long, how short it can be, we shall live up to the most of it. Oops, i'm feeling the tears in my eyes again now, but just can't help it.....
