Let It Snow Let It Snow Let It Snow
Chely Wright 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!
Chely Wright's song "Let It Snow Let It Snow Let It Snow" is a classic Christmas tune that talks about embracing the winter season despite the harshness of the weather outside. Through the lyrics, the song emphasizes the intimacy shared by a couple as they spend a beautiful evening indoors, sipping hot cocoa and watching the snow come down. It begins with the acknowledgment that the weather outside is frightful but the fire is delightful, which sets the tone for the rest of the song.
The song expresses the attitude that winter weather should not be avoided but embraced. The singer is inspired by the beauty of the winter season and shares this with their loved one. The phrase "Let It Snow!" is repeated throughout the song as both an encouragement to enjoy the festive season and a warning that the snowfall shows no signs of stopping. The song also explores the idea that love can keep you warm even during the coldest of nights.
As the song draws to a close, the lyrics imply the inevitability of goodbyes even in true love. The fire is slowly dying, and the couple knows their time together is ending. However, the affection they share for each other is strong enough to keep them warm, even as the snowstorm continues outside.

Oh the weather outside is frightful
The weather is really bad outside and not favorable for being outdoors
But the fire is so delightful
The warmth from the fire is very comforting
And since we've no place to go
We have nowhere to go, so might as well stay in and enjoy the warmth
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Regardless of how severe the weather is, let it snow and let us enjoy our time inside
It doesn't show signs of stopping
The snowfall is expected to continue for a while
And I've bought some corn for popping
We have food to enjoy while we stay indoors
The lights are turned way down low
The atmosphere inside is very cozy and intimate
When we finally kiss goodnight
After spending quality time inside, we bid farewell to each other with love
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
The thought of leaving the warm atmosphere and going out into the harsh weather is unpleasant
But if you'll really hold me tight
If my loved one embraces me tightly, I will feel warm and safe even when outside
All the way home I'll be warm
The sense of love and security will make the journey back home in the storm bearable
The fire is slowly dying
The warmth from the fire is gradually decreasing
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
We are still in the process of bidding farewell to each other
But as long as you love me so
As long as we love each other, we look forward to being together again despite the harsh weather
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
The snow outside might be dreadful, but we can still make the most of our time together inside
