Let It Flow
3/3 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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!

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 goodbying




But as long as you love me so
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Oh the weather outside is frightful
The weather is really bad


But the fire is so delightful
The fire is very comforting


And since we've no place to go
We have nowhere to go, let's enjoy ourselves here


Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
Let the snow fall, we don't need to go anywhere


It doesn't show signs of stopping
The snow is not going to stop anytime soon

The lights are dim, creating a cozy atmosphere

Before we go to bed and say goodnight

I really don't want to go out in this weather


But if you'll really hold me tight
If you hold me tightly, I'll feel better


All the way home I'll be warm
I'll feel warm and comforted all the way home


The fire is slowly dying
The fire is getting smaller


And, my dear, we're still goodbying
We're saying goodbye even though we don't want to


But as long as you love me so
As long as you love me, I will be content


Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
Let the snow fall, we don't need to go anywhere
