Christmas Songs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
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,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow.
When we finally say kiss good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
The song "Let It Snow" written by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne in 1945 is a classic Christmas song with a cozy and romantic vibe. The song describes a couple sitting by the fire, watching the snowfall outside while they enjoy each other's company. The first verse sets the scene by highlighting that the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is delightful, and since they have nowhere else to go, they'd rather watch the snowfall. The second verse talks about the snow not showing any signs of stopping and the couple enjoying popcorn by the fireplace while the lights are turned down low.
The chorus is catchy, and the phrase "Let it snow" is repeated three times, emphasizing that they're comfortable and happy with the snowfall. The third verse portrays the couple saying good night, but the thought of going out in the storm makes them feel uneasy. However, if they hold each other tightly, the journey home will be warm and comforting. The final verse sets a sad tone where the fire is slowly dying, and the couple is bidding farewell to each other. Still, they're content that they have each other's love, and they let it snow outside.
Overall, "Let It Snow" is a charming and nostalgic song that has been covered by various artists over the years. The song's upbeat melody and catchy lyrics make it one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
The weather is extremely bad outside.
But the fire is so delightful,
The warmth from the fire indoors is very pleasant.
And since we've no place to go,
As we cannot go anywhere due to the cold weather.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It is better to embrace the snow than to resist it.
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
The snowfall is persistent and does not seem to be ending soon.
And I brought some corn for popping
I have brought corn kernels to pop over the fire and enjoy while being inside.
The lights are turned way down low,
The lighting in the room is been dimmed down to match the cozy atmosphere.
Let it snow, let it snow.
Seeing the snow fall is such a delightful experience that we wish it continues.
When we finally say kiss good night,
As we say goodnight to each other.
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
The thought of going out in the storm is upsetting.
But if you really hold me tight,
If you hug me tightly, I'll be less inclined to mind going out.
All the way home I'll be warm.
The warmth of togetherness will keep me warm and make the trip home more enjoyable.
The fire is slowly dying,
The fire is slowly burning out.
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
Even though we are bidding farewell to each other.
But as long as you love me so.
As long as you love me, I'll be happy despite the cold and snow outside.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
The song concludes, encouraging the snow to continue and the love between the two of us to stay put.

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbyin'
As long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
He doesn't care if it's ten below
He's sitting by the fire's cosy glow
He don't care about the cold and the winds that blow
He just says, "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow"
Let it snow
Oo-wee goes the storm
Why should he worry when he's nice and warm?
His gal by his side and the lights burn low
He just says, "Let it snow, let it snow"
I don't care!
The weather outside is frightful
But that fire is mhmm, delightful
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 brought lots of corn for popping
The lights are way down low
So let it snow, let it snow, let it snow (let it snow!)
When we finally say goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you'll only hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbyin'
Long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
