Lyrics: Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we’ve no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snowMan, it doesn’t show signs of stopping
And I’ve brought me some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snowWhen we finally kiss good-night
How I’ll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I’ll be warmAnd the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we’re still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow and snowWhen we finally kiss good-night
How I’ll hate going out in the storm
But if you really grab me tight
All the way home I’ll be warmOh, the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we’re still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
