Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Gene Nery 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've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
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!
The song "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" was written by Sammy Cahn and composed by Jule Styne in the early 1940s. The song has become a holiday classic and is a popular accompaniment to Christmas festivities. The lyrics of the song describe the singer's reaction to the winter weather and how it can be interpreted as a metaphor for romantic love.
The first verse sets the scene for the song--it is freezing outside, but the warmth of the fire inside is inviting. The lyrics then move to the chorus which repeats the phrase "Let It Snow!" three times, indicating that the singer is content to be inside, away from the cold and snow. The second verse reveals that the snow is not stopping, but the singer has provisions for staying indoors, specifically some popcorn to pop, and the lights are down low, setting a cozy ambiance.
In the third verse, the song moves towards a romantic message. The singer muses about how much they dread going out in the storm but would feel much warmer if held tightly. The final verse signals the end of the holiday celebration, the fire is dying, and the couple is saying goodbye. But, as long as they love each other, the snow can continue to fall, and they will remain content inside.

Oh the weather outside is frightful
The weather conditions outside are very unpleasant
But the fire is so delightful
However, the warmth and coziness of the fire is very pleasant
And since we've no place to go
As we have no plans to go somewhere else, we can enjoy the time spent by the fire
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
We might as well welcome the snow, as we are not going anywhere and can enjoy the beautiful view from inside
It doesn't show signs of stopping
The snowfall does not seem to be ending anytime soon
And I've bought some corn for popping
I have purchased some popcorn to enjoy while spending the time indoors
The lights are turned way down low
The lights are dimmed, adding to the cozy ambience inside the room
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
We can happily continue to let the snowfall, without any need to step out
When we finally kiss goodnight
As we part ways for the night
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
I feel unhappy about the prospect of leaving the cozy indoors and braving the storm outside
But if you'll really hold me tight
However, if you embrace me tightly
All the way home I'll be warm
I can still feel warmth through your love and support
The fire is slowly dying
The fire is gradually extinguishing, and our time together is coming to an end
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
Before parting ways, we are still bidding each other farewell
But as long as you love me so
However, as long as you love me deeply
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
We can still find joy and warmth in the snowfall, despite the coming separation

Some context for the song:
Jenny of Oldstones was the wife of Prince Duncan Targaryen, also known as Prince Duncan the small and the Prince of Dragonflies.
Prince Duncan was betrothed to Lord Lyonel Baratheon's daughter. However when he was travelling through the Riverlans one day he met Jenny, a peasant girl, fell in love and married her. His father King Aegon V begged him to set her aside, however Duncan refused and instead abdicated the throne.
Lyonel Baratheon was so enraged that he revolted against the Iron Throne. Lord commander of the Kingsguard, Ser Duncan the Tall fought and defeated Lyonel in single combat and after some negotiations, accepted Aegon's daughter Rhaelle to be betrothed to his heir. Rhaelle is in fact Robert Baratheon's grandmother.
This set off a chain of events that lead to Duncan's siblings Jaehaerys and Shaera to marry each other, breaking bethrothals with Tullys and Tyrells. Jaehaerys would eventually become king and sire Rhaella and Aerys, who would later become known as "The Mad King"
This is why Maester Aemon, King Aegon's brother says "Duncan loved Jenny and the price for their love was paid in corpses."

Respectfully, I'm really curious and looking forward to how House of the Dragon will be in the future. But as a Fire and Blood reader, I know there are going to be a few elements missing in the HBO adaptation. The reason being is: the show doesn't start from the very beginning of Fire and Blood.
From the trailers I've watched, HBO starts House of the Dragon's story from the Dance of Dragons (the Targaryen civil war that killed all their dragons).
Well......all in all, whatever the shows gonna be in the future, I'll still watch it regardless of where it starts and give my opinion about it objectively. But that begs the question, though: If HBO is going to make a Game of Thrones sequel about the Targaryen house, why not start House of the Dragon (HOTD) from the very beginning? Why not start it from Aegon the Conqueror himself and his Conquest?
I mean......don't get me wrong.......Dance of Dragons is a pretty good story in itself. Personally, I like it. The story about a family being split into two, they fight each other nonstop for years, etc. It was a hell of a rollercoaster ride for me. I almost cried when Rhaenyra died in the end of the Dance. Really though, never thought I'd get emotional reading about a family feud that involves nations, wars, and dragons.
Back to topic, as a Fire and Blood reader, I feel that there are also many things that make the Targaryen history interesting rather than only the Dance of Dragons.
Aegon's Conquest; Aenys I and Maegor the Cruel's civil war (this is really tragic); King Jaeherys I's rule (my favorite Targaryen king after Aegon I); King Viserys I's rule and the evens prior to Dance of the Dragons.
Those are some events that transpired before Dance of the Dragons that have been written in Fire and Blood. And in my honest opinion, those events may be underrated compared to Dance of Dragons (sans Aegon's Conquest), but all of them have huge impacts in the Targaryen family.
Overall, just like I said, I don't really mind if HBO wants to start HOTD with Dance of Dragons. It's their show, not mine. I'm just a diehard house Targaryen fan with a question and trying to point out that there are many more tragic and impactful events that transpired before the Dance of Dragons. I just hope HOTD won't stray to far from the Fire and Blood book int terms of storyline. And hopefully, in the near distant future, there will be HOTD season 2 or something of the sort, and they adapt the many events before Dance of Dragons.

High in the halls of the kings who are gone
Jenny would dance with her ghosts
The ones she had lost and the ones she had found
And the ones who had loved her the most
The ones who'd been gone for so very long
She couldn't remember their names
They spun her around on the damp old stones
Spun away all her sorrow and pain
And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
They danced through the day
And into the night through the snow that swept through the hall
From winter to summer then winter again
'Til the walls did crumble and fall
And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
And she never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave, never wanted to leave
High in the halls of the kings who are gone
Jenny would dance with her ghosts
The ones she had lost and the ones she had found
And the ones
Who had loved her the most

The song becomes so much better/sadder if you know the origin of the song.
Jenny was a commoner who fell in love with Prince Duncan Targarayen who broke off a betrothal to marry Jenny, which started a small rebellion led by the Baratheons. The rebellion ended when Duncan’s sister was married to the Baratheon heir (their grandsons were Robert, Stannis, and Renly) and Duncan abdicated the throne to be allowed to stay with Jenny. Their marriage ended tragically when Duncan’s father, Aegon V the last good Targarayen King, tried to resurrect the dragons but failed and the resulting fire killed him and Duncan. The hall Jenny’s dancing in is Summerhall (the fire’s location) and the ghosts she’s dancing with are her husband, his family, and everyone else who died because of her love.
So not only did the events of Jenny’s life and love lay the groundwork for the events of the series (the events of Summerhall ultimately put the Mad King on the Iron Throne) but it mirrors the circumstances of Jon’s birth

See this is why I will always praise George RR Martin. He is fantastic in writing fantasy like a history epic that is incredibly well connected and beautiful to read.
