Let It Rain
Gloria Gaynor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
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 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

Fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bying
As long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

He doesn't care if it's in below
He's sitting by the fires glossy glow
He don't care about the cold
And the winds that blow
He just says, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Ooh, wee, goes the storm
Why should he worry
When he's nice and warm?
His girl by his side
And the lights turned low
He just says, let it snow, let it snow
I don't care

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But that fire is, mmm, delightful
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 brought lots of corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
So, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow

When we finally say good night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you'll only hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

Fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bying




Long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Overall Meaning

Gloria Gaynor's Let It Snow is a soothing and romantic song that talks about the beauty of snowfall and how being with someone you love can make any storm feel like a warm embrace. The song starts with the singer reflecting on the wintry weather and appreciating the atmosphere of a cozy evening inside by a fire. She mentions that they have nowhere to go and encourages the snowfall. The lights are turned low and they share a romantic moment as they listen to the sounds of the snow outside.


The song then talks about how the snowfall shows no signs of stopping but they are prepared with corn to pop and continue to enjoy their time in each other's company. The singer states that when they finally say goodnight, she does not want to go out in the storm but if he holds her tight, she will feel warm all the way home. The fire is slowly dying but they are still saying their goodbyes, prolonging the moment as long as they can.


What makes this song so special is the romantic essence of it that brings back memories of cozy winter nights and how being with loved ones can make the toughest of times feel like an embrace. The use of the metaphorical language of the storm to describe the difficulties of life and the warmth of love that can make everything feel alright is a testament to the power of togetherness.
