Let It Snow
Clayton 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,
And I brought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

When we finally 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.

Overall Meaning

The Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra's song Let It Snow begins with the classic line "Oh, the weather outside is frightful." The lyricist sets the scene for a chilly winter night where the weather is awful. However, the atmosphere inside is warm and cozy because of a burning fire. The second line, "But the fire is so delightful," expresses this sentiment. The next line, "And since we've no place to go," reveals that the individuals still there are enjoying each other's company so much that there's no need or desire to go anywhere else. The singer then urges the listener: "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow."

The second verse starts with "It doesn't show signs of stopping," which emphasizes how bad the weather is outside; it's just getting worse with no end in sight. But there is a silver lining. The singer has brought "some corn for popping." This detail adds to the cozy setting and suggests that the individual/s have prepared for a night in. The lights are down low, and everything seems perfect. Finally: "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow."

The chorus repeats the line "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow." The last stanza, "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," suggests that the night has been perfect, but everything has to come to an end. The fire is dying, and the individual/s will have to say goodbye. Still, as long as love remains strong, they will always have that perfect winter night to hold onto.

Line by Line Meaning

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
The current weather conditions outside are not conducive to leisure and may pose some danger to anyone who goes out.

But the fire is so delightful,
The fire indoors is warm, pleasing and cosy.

And since we've no place to go,
We have no other pressing engagements elsewhere so we can just relax and stay put.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
The snow should keep coming down as it will probably be enjoyable to watch and create a nice atmosphere for us.

It doesn't show signs of stopping,
The snowfall has been continuous and is yet to show signs of subsiding anytime soon.

And I brought some corn for popping,
I have brought popcorn which we can pop and eat while we stay indoors and enjoy the snow.

The lights are turned way down low,
The lights inside the room have been dimmed to create a more comfortable ambiance.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
We should continue to enjoy the snow and its effects inside the room.

When we finally kiss good night,
At the end of the day, when we retire to bed and say our goodnight, the snow will still be falling outside.

How I'll hate going out in the storm,
Once I leave this room and face the snowstorm, I will have a visceral dislike towards it.

But if you really hold me tight,
If you hold me really tight while we leave the room, then it will be a comforting and satisfying experience despite the weather outside.

All the way home I'll be warm.
If you hold me tight all the way home, I will feel warm and comforted.

The fire is slowly dying,
The fire that was once so warm and bright is slowly starting to dim and lose its brightness.

And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
I have to leave your side and it's not an easy thing to do. We're saying goodbye to this experience, but not to our love.

But as long as you love me so.
As long as we love each other, we will always have these moments and experiences to share and cherish, even if the snow has stopped falling and the fire has gone out.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
The snow and its memories and experiences should continue to effect and influence us for a long time.
