Let It Snow
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow let it snow let it snow
It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've 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'll hate going out in the storm
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And my dear we're still good-bying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow let it snow let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And my dear we're still good-bying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow let it snow let it snow
Kylie Minogue's rendition of "Let It Snow" is a classic Christmas tune that was originally written by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne in 1945. This song portrays a cozy night indoors watching snowfall outside with warm emotions and love. The first verse sets a wintery scene with the frightening weather outside and a crackling fire inside, expressing that there is no need to worry about the turmoil outside since there are corns for popping and the lights are turned down low.
As the song progresses, the vocalist asks for the snow to keep piling up, and as it shows no signs of stopping, they highlight their love for their partner being more meaningful than being snowed in. The bridge of the song reveals the fear of going out in the storm, but as long as they are held tightly, they will feel warm and safe all the way home. The song concludes with the acknowledgment that the fire is dying, and they have to say goodbye, but as long as their love remains, they can enjoy the snow together.
Interestingly, this song was written in July in California, during a heatwave. Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne were trying to think cold thoughts, so they cranked the air conditioning and discussed how winter made them feel. They were able to overcome the summer heat and piece together this classic winter melody.

Oh the weather outside is frightful
The weather is really bad outside
But the fire is so delightful
But when we're inside, the fire is cozy
And since we've no place to go
Since we don't have any plans
Let it snow let it snow let it snow
We might as well enjoy the snow
It doesn't show signs of stopping
The snow isn't going to stop anytime soon
And I've bought some corn for popping
I bought some snacks to eat while we wait out the snow
The lights are turned way down low
The lights are dimmed to create a cozy atmosphere
When we finally kiss goodnight
When we finally go to bed
How I'll hate going out in the storm
I don't want to leave the cozy warmth to go outside
But if you'll really hold me tight
But if you hold me close, I'll feel better
All the way home I'll be warm
I'll feel warm all the way home even in the storm
The fire is slowly dying
The fire is starting to go out
And my dear we're still good-bying
And we're still saying goodbye to each other
But as long as you love me so
But as long as you love me, it doesn't matter
Let it snow let it snow let it snow
Let's just enjoy the snow and be happy together
