The Snow Song by Junior Campbell and Mike O'Donnell (optional sing-along) – Charles Manning, Piano

The music and lyrics for “The Snow Song” were co-written by Scottish Junior Campbell and British Mike O’Donnell. From 1984 to 2003, Campbell and O’Donnell served as co-songwriters for the British-American children’s television series “Thomas & Friends.” During this classic period of the series, Campbell and O’Donnell composed all the music for 182 episodes and 31 songs. The internationally successful TV series is based on “The Railway Series” of books by Rev. Wilbert Awdry and his son Christopher. With the song’s lyrics printed below, sing along with pianist Charles Manning, as he improvises an accompaniment to “The Snow Song.” The train whistle for the “little blue train” is provided by the Pizzazz Whistleblower.

~ Introduction ~

You wake to the silence, the bright afterglow,
Now there's a surprise, for what do you know?
It's snowing,
Look, it's snowing.
Little Jack Frost has been busy last night,
The Island of Sodor is a blanket of white,
'Cause it's snowing
Yes, it's snowing.
White winter wonderland,
Beautiful day,
Snow, snow, snow, snow…
Snow, snow, snow, snow!

There in the valley someone you'll know,
The little blue train finds his way to the snow,
Whistle blowing,
Yes, it's snowing.
It's a beautiful world, it's a lovely day.
Cherish this moment, remember this day,
’Cause it's snowing,
Yes, it's snowing.
White winter wonderland,
Beautiful day!
Snow, snow, snow, snow.

~ Interlude ~

White winter wonderland,
Beautiful day,
Snow, snow, snow, snow…
Snow, snow, snow, snow!
Stay, stay, please stay!
