Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Bob Crosby & His Orchestra 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!

Line by Line Meaning

Oh the weather outside is frightful
The current weather conditions existing outside are exceedingly grim and unpleasant

But the fire is so delightful
Despite the undesirable climate outside, the warm and cozy fire inside is extremely pleasant

And since we've no place to go
As we have absolutely nowhere to be and nothing to do

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
We should embrace the snowfall and let it continue to accumulate

It doesn't show signs of stopping
The snowfall is not demonstrating any indication of concluding or diminishing

And I've bought some corn for popping
I have procured corn to prepare as a snack for us

The lights are turned way down low
The illumination level has been decreased significantly

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
We should continue to welcome and acknowledge the snowfall

When we finally kiss goodnight
When we eventually conclude our evening and exchange our goodnights

How I'll hate going out in the storm!
The thought of having to depart into the midst of the snowstorm fills me with intense loathing

But if you'll really hold me tight
However, if you were to embrace and hold me firmly

All the way home I'll be warm
I would remain comfortable and snug all throughout our journey homeward

The fire is slowly dying
The flames of the fire are gradually diminishing

And, my dear, we're still goodbying
My dearest, even now we are bidding each other farewell

But as long as you love me so
However, as long as you ardently care for me and express your love

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
We should take pleasure in the snowfall and encourage it to carry on
