Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Gary Puckett 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've bought 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'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!

But the fire is so delightful
However, there is something comforting and enjoyable amidst the difficulties


And since we've no place to go
Since we have no other commitments or obligations


Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
We should embrace the snowfall and its effects, accepting the situation


It doesn't show signs of stopping
The snowfall is continuous and shows no indication of ending


And I've bought some corn for popping
To make the most of the time indoors, I have prepared some snacks


The lights are turned way down low
To create a cozy atmosphere, the lights have been dimmed


Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
Regardless of the circumstances, we should embrace the snow and its impact


When we finally kiss goodnight
When we bid farewell and end the day


How I'll hate going out in the storm!
I strongly dislike the idea of facing the intense weather conditions outside


But if you'll really hold me tight
However, if you offer me strong and comforting support


All the way home I'll be warm
I will feel safe and content throughout our journey back home


The fire is slowly dying
The fire that provided warmth and comfort is gradually diminishing


And, my dear, we're still goodbying
My beloved, we are still bidding farewell and parting ways


But as long as you love me so
However, as long as you continue to hold affection for me


Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
I will accept and embrace the snowfall and its consequences
