[Verse 1]
Here is a tale of the trees in a wood
They were never that pleased on the land that they stood
So they upped and they walked on as far as they could
Till they felt the sun shine on their branches

[Chorus]
I was little boy lost and I was little boy blue
I am little Jack Frost but I am warm through and through
It's not easy to hide when your heart's on full view
Oh, tonight, cruel world be forgiving
Oh, for once in my life I am living

[Verse 2]
There they did stand and there they did stay
When there came a young boy who was running away
From a mad world, a bad world, a world of decay
And it's comfort he sought in their branches

[Chorus]
I was little boy lost and I was little boy blue
I am little Jack Frost but I am warm through and through
It's not easy to hide when your heart's on full view
Oh, tonight, cruel world be forgiving
Oh, for once in my life I am living
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
There he found love and there he found joy
And the warmth in his heart, oh, it filled the young boy
And his friends taught him magic and secrets of old
While the trees kept him safe with their branches

[Chorus]
I was little boy lost and I was little boy blue
I am little Jack Frost but I am warm through and through
It's not easy to hide when your heart's on full view
Oh, tonight, cruel world be forgiven
I was little boy lost and I was little boy blue
I'm little Jack Frost but I am warm through and through
It's not easy to hide when your heart's on full view
Oh, tonight, cruel world be forgiving
Oh, for once in my life I am living
