Let It Snow
Ella Fitzgerald & Frank Devol Orchestra 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 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, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
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 goodnight
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 goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Ella Fitzgerald's song Let It Snow Let It Snow Let It Snow is a classic winter classic and speaks to the joy and warmth that can be found in a cold and snowy night. The song starts off by acknowledging the frightful weather outside, but the interior of the cozy home is delightful thanks to the warm fire. Since there's no place to go and nothing else to do, the refrain of "Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!" encourages the snow to keep falling and the fire to keep warming the inside of the home.
As the song continues, the singer notes that the snow doesn't seem to be stopping, but they are prepared with corn for popping and low-lit lights to keep the mood cozy. When they finally kiss goodnight, the singer notes that they will hate going out into the storm, but if their love interest holds them tight, they'll be warm all the way home. The fire begins to slowly die, and despite the impending goodbye, the singer notes that as long as their love interest loves them, they can continue to let it snow and bask in the warmth of their love.
Overall, Let It Snow Let It Snow Let It Snow is a joyful and heartwarming song about finding the joy in the midst of a storm and clinging to the warmth of love during a cold season.
Line by Line Meaning
The weather is really bad outside
But the warmth of the fire makes it lovely inside
As we have nowhere to go, we may as well enjoy the snow
Let it snow, even though it's freezing and unpleasant
The snow doesn't seem like it will stop anytime soon
But at least we have popcorn to enjoy
The ambiance is low, making for a cozy atmosphere
Let it snow, despite the dark and gloomy setting
It's going to be hard to say goodbye when we leave
I'll hate going into the storm when we finally say goodnight
But if you hold me tight, I'll feel warm all the way home
The fire is gradually burning out
We can't keep saying goodbye, my dear
But as long as you love me, it's okay to let it snow
