SNOW QUEEN • A HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN MUSICAL • ENHANCED CDSNOW QUEEN • A HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN MUSICAL • ENHANCED CD Song words


Cold nightsVerse 1 Cold nights!

Air that makes your skin glow,Starshine through your window,Silver fairy lights.Cold nights!Icicles like splinters,Nothing like the winter’s Cold, cold nights.

Verse 2 Cold nights!Snow will soon be falling,Winter’s come a-calling,How the blizzard bites.Cold nights!Stay in bed a-sleeping,Never go a-creeping,Cold, cold nights.

Middle Huddle round the fire,section Pull the shutters tight,

While the snow piles ever higher,Turning all to white.

Verse 3 Cold nights!Frozen lakes and rivers,Winds that give you shiversBlowing from the heights.Cold nights!Forests full of bare trees, Children must beware theseCold, cold nights.Children must beware theseCold, cold nights.

BunsVerse 1 Rich folks sit at a groaning table

Loaded down with fancy fare.Dressed in satin, silks and sable,Blinded by their silverware.Sipping wine from crystal glasses,Making out they’re having fun.But …Nothing can beat the simple treatOf a little bit of butter on a toasted bun.

Chorus Bun, bun, toasted bun,Buns are liked by everyone,Know what can’t be beat, my son?A little bit of butter on a toasted bun.

Verse 2 Poor folks dine in a simple fashion,Hunks of bread and salted fish.What would it take to stir their passion?What would be their favourite dish?Packed with raisins and sultanas,Warm and golden as the sun.No …Nothing can beat the simple treatOf a little bit of butter on a toasted bun.

Chorus Bun, bun, toasted bun,Buns are liked by everyone,Know what can’t be beat, my son?A little bit of butter on a toasted bun.Some butter on a toasted bun, bun, bun,Bun, bun, bun, bun.A little bit of butter on a toasted bun!

Hope is never deadVerse 1 When the shadows gather,

When the light has flown,When the winds of winter Howl and moan,When the storms are ragingAll around your door,You will see the sun once more.

Verse 2 While the rose is bloomingLove will never die,Hope is like a rainbowIn the sky;Something to believe in,Something worth a fight,Something like a starIn the cold, dark night.

Chorus While the rose remains in bloom,Keep your spirits ever high;While it shines out in the gloom,Hope will never, ever die. While the rose remains in bloom,Keep the thought inside your head;While it shines out in the gloom,Hope is never, ever dead.Hope is never, never, ever dead.

SnowmanVerse 1 There’s nothing like the feeling

When you jump from bed,And the world’s all whiteLike a fancy loaf of bread;You’ve just one thoughtA-buzzing round in your head!You’re gonna build a snowman.

Verse 2 You gobble up your porridge At a record rate,Then you step outsideAnd the world is looking great;You pick up a shovel’Cos you simply can’t wait!You’re gonna build a snowman.

Middle You add all the things that make him come to life,Section A carrot for a nose,

A hat and umbrella will protect the little fellaWhen the cold wind blows.

(Repeat There’s nothing like the feelingverse 1) When you jump from bed,

And the world’s all whiteLike a fancy loaf of bread;You’ve just one thoughtA-buzzing round in your head!You’re gonna build a snowman.A little snowman.A little snowman!

Travelling songVerse 1 Where it leads, who can know?

Lonely the road that winds to the horizon, No place to go.Long the way, hard the track,Lonely the road that winds to the horizon, No turning back.Cold the day, dark the night,Will there ever be an end in sight?

Verse 2 Bitter winds, skies of grey, Lonely the road that winds to the horizon, So far away.Frozen feet, frozen hands,Lonely the road that winds to the horizon, And distant lands.Bound to roam, all alone,Lonely is the road that leads from home.

Ending Wave goodbye, faithful friends,Who knows where the journey ends?Wave goodbye, faithful friends,Who knows if the journey ever ends?

The magical gardenVerse 1 There is a garden, a magical garden,

Carefully tended by fingers of green.Snowdrops and daffodils, poppies and bluebells,Wonderful colours you never have seen.

Verse 2 Inside the walls there is peace and seclusion,Hard to resist when temptation is strong.Can you not see that it’s all an illusion?Something about it is terribly wrong.

Middle Beware, Gerda, beware!section It’s a trap! It’s a snare!

Once you walk through the gate You will never escape, And your journey will end in despair.

Verse 3 There is a garden, a magical garden,Don’t be drawn in by the look or the smell.The Witch of the Flowers has mystical powers,A wave of her hand and you’re under her spell.A wave of her hand and you’re under her spell.

Travelling song (Reprise)Verse 1 Where it leads, who can know?

Lonely the road that winds to the horizon, No place to go.Long the way, hard the track,Lonely the road that winds to the horizon, No turning back.Cold the day, dark the night,Will there ever be an end in sight?

Verse 2 Bitter winds, skies of grey, Lonely the road that winds to the horizon, So far away.Frozen feet, frozen hands,Lonely the road that winds to the horizon, And distant lands.Bound to roam, all alone,Lonely is the road that leads from home.

Ending Wave goodbye, faithful friends,Who knows where the journey ends?Wave goodbye, faithful friends,Who knows if the journey ever ends?
