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 snow Man it doesn't show signs of stoppin' And I brought me some corn for poppin' The lights are turned way down low Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow When 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 warm And the fire is slowly dying And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing But as long as you'd love me so Let it snow, let it snow, and snow When we finally kiss good-night How I'll hate going out in the storm But if you'd really grab me tight All the way home I'll be warm Oh the fire is slowly dying And, my dear, we're still goodbye-ing But as long as you'd love me so Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Jule Styne / Sammy Cahn Let It Snow!

When choosing a pattern, look for ones that have words such as "simple", "basic", and "easy". If you see the words "intriguing", "challenging", or "intricate", look elsewhere. If you happen across a pattern that says "heirloom", slowly put down the pattern and back away. "Heirloom" is knitting code for "This pattern is so difficult that you would consider death a relief".” ― Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, At Knit's End: Meditations for Women Who Knit Too Much |
