Lyrics: 

Let it snow, let it snow

Let it snow, let it snow

Hey, it's another Christmas holiday

It's a joyous thing let the angels sing

'Cause we're together

We got a thing here, can't let it slip away

Though outside it's rain and sleet

When our bodies meet...

I don't care 'bout the weather

Let it snow, let it snow

Outside it's cold but the fire's blazin'

So baby let it snow

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Oh, come over here and help me trim the tree

I wanna wrap you up baby

Then you'll see you're the only present I need

There's so much more

Waiting for you in store

From this precious day

I can gladly say

There's no place that I'd rather be

And oh, you are my everything, come a little closer

God must have sent you down from heaven

Let it snow, let it snow

Outside it's cold but the fire's blazin'

So baby let it snow

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Let it snow, let it snow

Let it snow baby, let it snow

I don't care about the weather baby

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

Let it snow

I don't care 'bout the weather baby

All I need you to do is be with me baby

Let it snow

As long as you're here with me

Let it snow

I don't mind, I don't mind

Let it snow

I don't care what the weather may be

As long as you're here with me

Lyrics:

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away (You gave it away)

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special (Special)

Once bitten and twice shy

I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye

Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?

Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas) I wrapped it up and sent it

With a note saying, "I love you", I meant it

Now I know what a fool I've been

But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away (You gave it away)

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special (Special)

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special (Special, oh)

Oh, oh, baby

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes

I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice

My God, I thought you were someone to rely on

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A man under cover but you tore me apart

Ooh-hoo

Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away (You gave it away)

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special (Special)

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (I gave you my heart)

But the very next day you gave it away (You gave me away)

This year, to save me from tears (Ohh)

I'll give it to someone special (Special)

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you my heart)

A man under cover but you tore him apart

Maybe next year

I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special

Special

Someone
