美國鄉村樂歌姬［瑪蒂娜麥布萊］──傳統流行／聖誕曲──［Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!／下雪吧!］

Lyrics：Jule Styne/Sammy Cahn
Music：Jule Styne/Sammy Cahn

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since weve no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Oh it doesnt show signs of stopping
And I bought some corn for popping
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 Ill be warm
Oh the fire is slowly dying
And my dear were still good-bying
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
