I can see you there Oh, in the snowbank, with a snowman at your side In my heart and in my spirit I concede The things you want in life you have to really need This is a matter of life (This is a matter of life) Only parents cry (Only parents cry) Oh, when they want to show the world they’re still alive And in my heart and in my spirit I believe The draft beneath the door frame comes to challenge me This is a matter of life (This is a matter of life) Oh, be kind to me (Oh, be kind to me) Oh, Benjamin who keeps his hands inside his sleeves And in my heart and in my spirit I can read The way he brushed his beard against the cedar tree (This is a matter of life) Keeping his eyes upon me I can see you there Oh, in the snowbank, with a snowman at your side And in my heart and in my spirit I can see The things you want in life you have to really need (This is a matter of life)
