Cahn-Styne 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 bought 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 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 outside weather is unbearably cold
But the fire is so delightful
However, the warmth of the fire is pleasant
And since we've no place to go
As there is nowhere else to be
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Might as well enjoy the snowfall!
It doesn't show signs of stopping
The snowfall seems unending
And I've bought some corn for popping
I'm prepared with popcorn for snacking
The lights are turned way down low
The ambiance is cozy and relaxing
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
This snowstorm isn't so bad after all
When we finally kiss goodnight
At the end of the night, when we say goodbye
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
It will be difficult to leave the warm embrace to go into the cold storm
But if you'll really hold me tight
However, if you hold me close and tightly
All the way home I'll be warm
I'll be warm and comforted even in the storm
The fire is slowly dying
The fire is slowly fading out
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
Even though it's time to say goodbye
But as long as you love me so
As long as there is love between us
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
The snowstorm doesn't seem so daunting with love and warmth
