Let It Snow
Christian Elsner 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!
Christian Elsner's "Let It Snow" is a classic holiday song that captures the essence of winter and the holiday season. The first verse sets the scene by describing the cold, harsh weather outside that is in sharp contrast to the warmth and coziness inside by the fire. The song starts by introducing the weather condition- snowfall that may negatively affect outdoor activities but makes staying indoors much more comfortable. The second verse makes a reference to preparing popcorn and dipping the lights as the singers settle in and wait for the snow to continue falling. The third and final verse talks about leaving each other's company and going out in the storm. But if the singer's love interest holds them tightly, they will be warm all the way home.
The song is primarily about being cozy inside, enjoying each other's presence and letting it snow outside. It represents a sense of being content, happy, and "letting it be," even if the storm outside is unrelenting. The song's melody is light and cheerful, evoking a sense of joy and happiness that is associated with the holiday season. It's a perfect song to sing by a fire or while baking cookies on a snowy day.

Oh the weather outside is frightful
The weather outside is extremely severe and unpleasant
But the fire is so delightful
The fire is lovely, warm and comforting
And since we've no place to go
We have nowhere to go, so it's better to stay at home and enjoy the weather
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
We should let it snow as it creates a beautiful atmosphere
It doesn't show signs of stopping
The snowfall is expected to continue with the same intensity
And I've bought some corn for popping
I've bought some corn to make popcorn and enjoy the cozy atmosphere
The lights are turned way down low
The lights are dimmed to create a more relaxing and tranquil atmosphere
When we finally kiss goodnight
When we finally say goodnight with a kiss
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
I'll have an aversion to going out in the snowstorm
But if you'll really hold me tight
If you hold me tightly while we walk home, I'll feel comforted and warm
All the way home I'll be warm
The warmth of your embrace will keep me comfortable all the way home
The fire is slowly dying
The fire is burning out and getting weaker
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
We're still saying goodbye to each other
But as long as you love me so
As long as you love me, I'll feel happy and content
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
We should let it snow, as our love will keep us warm and happy
