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 brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate to go 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, were still goodbying
But as long as you love me so,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
The song "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" by Count Basie Big Band/Tony Bennett is a classic holiday song that captures the spirit of winter holidays. The lyrics depict a scene of a cold, snowy night where the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful. The singer and their partner have nowhere to go and, instead, choose to stay inside and let the snow keep falling. The winter storm, however, does not show any signs of stopping, and the singer has brought some corn for popping to enjoy the cozy night indoors. The lights are turned down low, and they watch the snowfall outside.
The song beautifully conveys the feeling of warmth, love, and affection between two people enjoying each other's company on a cold winter night. As they finally kiss goodnight, the singer doesn't want to go out in the storm. However, if their partner holds them tight, then they'll feel warm and protected all the way home. As the fire is dying, and they prepare to say goodbye, the singer emphasizes that as long as they are with their loved one, they don't mind the snow and the cold. The lyrics show that it's all about cherishing the moment and being grateful for what you have in the present.
