Let it Snow
Listen to Gillian ...
Let it snow, let it snow,
let your cheeks and nose glow,
and your boots get there first
on the new frost below.
Let it snow, let it snow,
let the nippy winds blow,
and your hat, scarf and gloves
keep you warm as you go
Let it snow, let it snow,
let the wonderment grow,
as the world, stunned and quiet,
appears almost to slow
Let it snow, let it snow,
let the joy overflow,
and your days fill with sledging
and snowballs to throw!
let your cheeks and nose glow,
and your boots get there first
on the new frost below.
Let it snow, let it snow,
let the nippy winds blow,
and your hat, scarf and gloves
keep you warm as you go
Let it snow, let it snow,
let the wonderment grow,
as the world, stunned and quiet,
appears almost to slow
Let it snow, let it snow,
let the joy overflow,
and your days fill with sledging
and snowballs to throw!
