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 lyrics of "Let's Get It On" by Hershel Almond with Al Good and His Band serve as an invitation to embrace the warm and cozy feeling of being surrounded by loved ones during the winter season.

Oh the weather outside is frightful
The harsh weather outside is feared and dreaded
But the fire is so delightful
The fireplace is cozy and comforting
And since we've no place to go
As we are stuck inside, let us enjoy the moment
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Let the snow fall, let us bask in the warmth of the fire
It doesn't show signs of stopping
The snowstorm is not calming down anytime soon
And I've bought some corn for popping
I have bought some popcorn for us to snack on
The lights are turned way down low
The lights have been dimmed to create a cozy atmosphere
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Let us embrace the snow and enjoy the moment
When we finally kiss goodnight
At the end of the night, when we say goodnight with a kiss
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
I dread the idea of leaving in the midst of the snowstorm
But if you'll really hold me tight
If you embrace me tightly
All the way home I'll be warm
I will feel safe and warm during our journey home
The fire is slowly dying
The fireplace is losing its warmth
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
We are still saying our goodbyes
But as long as you love me so
As long as you love and care for me
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Let us enjoy the warmth and love, despite the snowstorm
