Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ah yeah
Boyz II Men, Brian McKnight
Back at ya baby
A little something for ya in '98
Y'all ready fellas
Let's turn it on for them
As a matter of fact, let's make it snow
Ya ready, here we go

[Chorus]
Let it snow, let it snow
But the fire's blazin'
Let it snow, let it snow
But the fire's blazin'
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It's just another Christmas holiday
Just me and you
The weather's stormy, but we're A-OK
And there's nothing that I'd rather do
Than lay you down beside the fireplace
No where to go
You run out of breath, I start to shake
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

[Chorus]

Come over here
Pretend like I'm the tree, and you are the star
You're all the present that I'll ever need
Just wanna be everywhere that you are
Hear the carolers, the sleigh bells ring
Where's the mistletoe
We feel happiness the season brings
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

[Chorus]

And oh, you are my everything
Won't ya come, won't ya come
God must have sent you down from heaven





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The song "Let It Snow" by Boyz II Men and Brian McKnight is a classic holiday tune that speaks about the beauty of the Christmas season. The melody of the song directs listeners to forget about the chill outside since the fire is blazing and the only place that they would like to be is beside their partner. The song begins with both the groups welcoming their audience to the song, deciding to turn it on for them in 1998. The chorus of the song chants out "Let it Snow" three times, creating an ambiance of snowfall and Christmas cheer.


The first verse speaks about Christmas Eve and how beautiful it is to spend it with the love of one's life. Despite the stormy weather, the couple is just perfect, and all they desire is to be with each other. The stanza creates an image of passion and romance, with lyrics such as "lay you down beside the fireplace. No where to go. You run out of breath, I start to shake. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow." The chorus repeats that even if it snows, they are content to stay inside with each other.


Moving onto the second stanza, the partners are now indulging in playful romance, and Brian McKnight asks his partner to pretend that he is the tree, and she is the star over him. He further mentions that the person he loves is the only present he longs to have. The stanza asks the question, "Where's the mistletoe?" indicating that their passion-filled holiday can reach soaring heights. The last part of the song is Brian proclaiming that the partner is everything to him and that she is a heavenly presence that he is delighted to have beside him.
