This summer, in my visit with family in New York, I got to help Chrissy, my  6 1/2 year old niece, write a song. Chrissy had got a chance to hear some of the songs I have written over the years, thanks to my wife and her iPhone. So of course, she got the idea that I could help her write a song. It's hard to say no to an eager niece so I helped her write one.

Winter Song

by Chrissy  Wagner

1) In the winter I play hockey

I get to play in the snow

I like winter even though flowers

do not bloom or grow

(chorus) Baking cookies, drinking warm milk 

While Daddy reads a Christmas book

Building snowmen, Winter projects

I’m having a jolly winter time!

2) In the winter it is freezing cold

I run inside to get a winter coat

Once I’m bundled up, I go back outside

to have a snowball fight

(chorus) Baking cookies, drinking warm milk 

While Daddy reads a Christmas book

Building snowmen, Winter projects

I’m having a jolly winter time!

3) My neighbors have a snowball maker

So they’ll always win

But I still enjoy to play against them

Because it makes me laugh and grin

(chorus) Baking cookies, drinking warm milk 

While Daddy reads a Christmas book

Building snowmen, Winter projects

I’m having a jolly winter time!

 

(ending) In the winter, I have lots of fun!
