Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Manhattan Transfer 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 Manhattan Transfer's version of "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" talks about how the weather outside is frightful, but staying warm inside with a fire is so delightful, and since they have no place to go, they might as well let it snow. The song shows how much they romanticize being trapped inside by a snowstorm, as they've bought some corn for popping, turned the lights way down low, and are ready to cuddle up and enjoy the warmth of the fire while the snowstorm brews outside.
As the song progresses, they express reluctance at having to leave after finally sharing a goodnight kiss, but if they hold each other tight, the journey home will be warmer. The fire slowly dies down, and they realize they must say goodbye, but as long as they love each other, they'll still enjoy the snowfall while they can.
The lyrics show us how easy it can be to enjoy the moment and appreciate what is around us. Despite the cold and frightful weather outside, it's nice to spend time in the warmth of quality company. They tell us to live, love, and make memories, even if the snow never stops falling.
