Let It Snow
Harry Allen Lyrics

Harry Allen's song "Let It Snow Let It Snow Let It Snow" is a classic Christmas song about accepting the harsh winter weather and finding warmth and comfort with a loved one. The first line of the song "Oh the weather outside is frightful" sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the singer talks about the pleasantness of being indoors by the fire in contrast to the freezing temperatures outside. Despite the fact that it is snowing heavily and the roads may be inaccessible, the singer expresses contentment being stuck indoors with his lover by the fire.

The wintertime atmosphere is further heightened by the use of alliteration in the lyrics. There is a repetition of "S" and "F" sounds in "Oh the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful", which evokes the sensation of shivering in the cold and the relief of warming up by the fire. The singer also speaks about wanting to stay indoors just to be with their loved one, even if that meant staying in until the snow stops. The final lines of the chorus, "Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!" emphasize this sentiment and ties in the holiday spirit associated with Christmas.

The song also touches on the romantic aspect of being snowed in with a loved one. The thought of cuddling with a significant other by the fire or warm embrace provides a sense of comfort, and might be one of the reasons why this song is heard often during the holiday season. The song's final verse shows that despite the fire slowly dying and the thought of eventually having to leave, the love between the singer and their lover provides enough warmth to make enduring the winter storm worthwhile.
