Let It Snow
Lara & Reyes 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!
Lara & Reyes's "Let It Snow" is a classic winter song that has been embraced by many generations as a holiday anthem. The song narrates the story of a couple who is spending their time indoors due to the blistering winter weather conditions. The opening lines, "Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful" set the scene perfectly. The couple has nowhere to go, so they decide to stay warm and cozy indoors by indulging in some winter treats while enjoying the cozy warmth of the fire.
The second verse sees the couple still enjoying the snowfall, with the lyrics "It doesn't show signs of stopping, and I've bought some corn for popping." The addition of the popcorn is a classic winter reference to keeping oneself warm indoors. The couple is still enjoying each other's company while the snowstorms around them rage on. The chorus brings back the excitement of the initial snowfall, with the line "Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!"
In the final section, the couple is preparing to leave as the fire dies down. As they say goodbye, the lyrics "my dear, we're still goodbying" suggest that they don't want to leave each other's company. They are holding onto each other tightly, and as long as they love each other, the snowstorm can't dampen their enthusiasm. The song ends on a high note, with a final chorus of "Let it snow!"
