Let It Snow
Aly & AJ 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 brought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
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!
You know it's snowing, snowing
And I don't want it to go
When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
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!
Let it snow! let it snow! let it snow!
Let it snow, snow, snow!
The lyrics of Aly & AJ's Let It Snow are a joyful and romantic celebration of the winter season. The song opens with a description of the cold and dreary weather outside, but the coziness of a warm fire indoors makes it all the more enjoyable. With no commitments or obligations to attend to, the singers implore the snow to keep falling, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.
The second verse continues the romantic imagery, with the singer producing popcorn to snack on, while the lights are dimmed and the snowflakes swirl outside. The anticipation of finally kissing goodnight is palpable, though the impending storm threatens to dampen the mood. However, a tight embrace will make the trek home warmer and more bearable.
The final verse ends the song on a bittersweet note, with the fire dying down and the realization that the romantic interlude has to come to an end. Nevertheless, the warmth of a loving relationship is enough to make any situation joyful and bearable, even in the coldest of winter nights.
Overall, Let It Snow is a beautiful ode to loving relationships, and how they can make even the bleakest of circumstances bearable with the simple gesture of holding someone tight.

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
The weather is terrible outside
But the fire is so delightful,
However, the fire is beautiful and comforting
And since we've no place to go,
We have nowhere else to be
Let it snow! let it snow! let it snow!
So, let it snow as much as it wants to
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
The snow is not going to stop any time soon
And I've brought some corn for popping,
We have brought some corn to pop on the fire
The lights are turned way down low,
We have dimmed the lights in the room
Let it snow! let it snow! let it snow!
So, let it snow even more
When we finally kiss goodnight,
When we say goodnight to each other
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
I will dislike going outside in the snowstorm
But if you'll really hold me tight,
If you hold me tightly
All the way home I'll be warm.
I will feel warm and happy on the way home
The fire is slowly dying,
The fire is almost out
And my dear we're still good-bying,
We are still saying goodbye to each other
But as long as you love me so,
But as long as you love me
Let it snow! let it snow! let it snow!
It doesn't matter if it snows more
You know it's snowing, snowing
You know that it is snowing heavily
And I don't want it to go
And I don't want the snow to stop
When we finally kiss goodnight,
When we say goodnight to each other
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
I will dislike going outside in the snowstorm
But if you really hold me tight,
If you hold me tightly
All the way home I'll be warm.
I will feel warm and happy on the way home
Oh the weather outside is frightful,
The weather is terrible outside
But the fire is so delightful,
However, the fire is beautiful and comforting
And since we've no place to go,
We have nowhere else to be
Let it snow! let it snow! let it snow!
So, let it snow as much as it wants to
Let it snow! let it snow! let it snow!
It doesn't matter if it snows more
Let it snow, snow, snow!
Let it snow continuously
