Carl Doy 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!
The lyrics to Carl Doy's song Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! depict a cosy scene inside a warm home during a cold winter night.

The lyrics express the singer’s wish that their partner would hold them tight to keep them safe and warm during the journey.

The N Note
What a beautiful arrangement. The way he brings the melody across from the trombones to the saxes and to the trumpets, it's simply amazing. If only there were more arrangers like Goodwin...
Aclator
The first trumpet is absolutely incredible.

If you don't have a high note trumpet player, forget it. Nothing sounds worse than badly intonated high trumpet.
ApplePie IS GUD
Or you can just take it down an octave

Won't sound as good

that a high B no?

@ApplePie IS GUD that won’t go well with the other trumpets playing above the lead line. This chart requires a strong lead player, so I’d see it more suited for college as opposed to high school in most situations.
