You cannot make one in the sky
Where the careless creatures fly
The careless creatures fly

You cannot make one in your home
Where your heart is safe and dry
The heart is safe and dry

Only down on the ground in the cold
Can you make, make an angel in the snow

You cannot on a summer day
It will only melt away
Only melt away

You cannot when you're standing tall
But only lowly as you lay
Lowly as you lay

Only down on the ground in the cold
Can you make, make an angel in the snow

You cannot make one in paradise
That's the place where the angels die
Where winter seems like a distant dream
And the cold has been forgotten

So get your coat and venture out
Find a place upon the ground
A place upon the ground

And when you think that you were better off inside
Is when you should be falling down
Falling down

Only down on the ground in the cold
Can you make, make an angel in the snow
