Let It Snow! (10th Anniversary)
Lyrics:
[English]
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
No, it doesn't show signs of stoppin'
And I've brought some corn for poppin'
All the lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home, I'll be warm
Now, the fire is slowly dyin'
My dear, we're still goodbye-in'
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let snow, let it snow
Oh, it doesn't show signs of stoppin'
And I've brought some corn for poppin'
All the lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Oh, let it snow
...
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home, I'll be warm
All the way home, I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dyin'
And my dear, we're still goodbye-in'
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow
Let it snow
Let it snow
...
