Let It Snow
Kid Drew and the Kids 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 opening lines of Kid Drew and the Kids’ ‘Let It Snow’ paint a picture of a cold and wintry night. Despite the miserable conditions outside, the warm and inviting fire inside provides comfort and security. The line ‘And since we’ve no place to go’ implies that the singer and/or the addressee are trapped indoors due to the weather outside. The chorus lyric ‘Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!’ is a repeated plea to nature to keep snowing, indicating that the warmth and companionship inside is preferable to venturing out into the cold.
The second verse of the song reinforces the idea of the singer being snowed in, with the line ‘It doesn’t show signs of stopping’. However, the mood of the song remains cheerful and festive, with the singer ‘popping corn’ and the lights turned down low. The final verse is an expression of resignation to the eventual end of the snowy weather and the prospect of having to leave the warmth of the fire and venture out. Knowing that they will be together is what makes the singer feel better about it: ‘But if you'll really hold me tight, all the way home I'll be warm.’
