Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Kat Edmonson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, 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
Now it shows no signs of stopping
And I brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in that 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
When we finally say goodnight
How I'll hate going out in that storm
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
Now the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbyin'




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

Line by Line Meaning

Well, the weather outside is frightful
Although the weather outside is unpleasant


But the fire is so delightful
The warmth of the fire is comforting


Since we've no place to go
Since we have nowhere to go


Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
We might as well enjoy the snowfall


Now it shows no signs of stopping
The snowfall doesn't seem to be ending


And I brought some corn for popping
I have some popcorn to enjoy


The lights are turned down low
The lights are dimmed for a cozy atmosphere


Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let's embrace the snowy weather


When we finally kiss goodnight
Before we say goodnight with a kiss


How I'll hate going out in that storm
I dread going out in the snowstorm


But if you'll really hold me tight
If you hold me close


All the way home I'll be warm
I will feel warm and safe all the way home


The fire is slowly dying
The fire is burning out


And, my dear, we're still goodbying
We're still saying our goodbyes


But as long as you love me so
As long as you love me deeply


Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let the snow continue to fall


When we finally say goodnight
When we eventually say goodnight


How I'll hate going out in that storm
I'll really dislike going out in the storm


But if you'll really hold me tight
If you embrace me tightly


All the way home I'll be warm
I'll feel warm all the way home


Now the fire is slowly dying
Now the fire is gradually extinguishing


And, my dear, we're still goodbyin'
And we're still saying farewell, my dear


Long as you love me so
As long as you love me deeply


Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Let it snow without end!

3 or 4 years ago I ordered several of Kat's CDs to be shipped to me. Several months later they hadn't arrived. I sent a message asking if anyone could find them using the tracking number, but instead I got a totally sweet message from Kat herself saying she would re-ship the CDs, which she did and which I received. Pretty classy, not to mention unexpected.

@Pilobolus
