Beverley Mahood Lyrics

Sammy Cahn, Jule Styne
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.
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When we finally say 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.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
Beverley Mahood's version of "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" is a classic holiday song that captures the essence of staying warm and cozy indoors while the snow falls outside. The lyrics describe a wintery scene in which the weather is frightful and the fire inside is delightful. The singer mentions that they have nowhere else to go, so they welcome the snowfall and hope it continues. The lights are turned low, the fire is slowly dying, and the singer is enjoying some popcorn.
The second verse reinforces the idea of staying in and enjoying the warmth: despite the snowfall continuing, the singer is settled for the night with their popcorn and companionship. When they eventually have to say goodnight, the prospect of going outside in the storm is not pleasant. However, the singer suggests that if they are holding someone tightly, they will feel warm all the way home. The final verse confirms that the evening may be coming to a close, but as long as they have each other's love, they are content to let it snow and stay cozy inside.
Overall, the song is a charming ode to enjoying winter weather in the comfort of one's own home. The sense of warmth and comfort that the lyrics evoke is a hallmark of many holiday songs, and "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" is no exception.

The weather outside is terrible
But we can enjoy our time by the fire
And since we have nowhere else to be
We might as well embrace the snowfall
It doesn't look like the snow will stop anytime soon
I brought popcorn to snack on during the storm
The soft lighting creates a cozy atmosphere
So let's sit back and watch the snow fall outside
When it's time to say good night
I'll dread leaving and facing the storm
But as long as you hold me close
I'll feel warm all the way home
The fire is slowly fading
And it's time to say goodbye
But as long as we love each other
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
