Let It Rise
Natalie Grant Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh the weather outside is frightful
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

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

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!

Overall Meaning

The song Let It Snow by Natalie Grant is a classic Christmas song that talks about winter and love. The song sets the scene of a cold winter evening, the weather outside being frightful while a fire is burning, creating warmth and coziness indoors. As the song proceeds, the author mentions that they have nowhere else to be, urging the snow to fall and continue snowing.

Winter is usually characterized by cold, dreary and gloomy weather, causing one to stay indoors, huddled up in warmth, sometimes with a loved one, just like the couple in the song. The author goes on to say that he/she has bought corn for popping, perhaps to eat while waiting for the snow to stop or pass the time indoors.

The author seems to worry about leaving the cozy place with the thought of going out in the storm, but hopes that if their lover holds them tight, they will be warm all the way home. The lyrics "the fire is slowly dying" and "my dear, we're still goodbying" depict the end of the night, where the couple has to depart, but not before reassuring the other of the love they share through the consistent and repetitive lines "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow".

In summary, the song Let It Snow by Natalie Grant paints a vivid picture of the winter season, with its cold weather, fireplaces, and snowfall. The song captures both the warmth of a cozy indoor setting and the love between two people, hoping to hold on to the moment a little longer.

Line by Line Meaning

Oh the weather outside is frightful
The weather outside is awful

But the fire is so delightful
But it's nice and warm inside by the fire

And since we've no place to go
And we can't go outside because of the weather

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
We may as well enjoy the snow since we can't go out anyways

It doesn't show signs of stopping
The snow isn't going to stop anytime soon

And I've bought some corn for popping
But we have popcorn to snack on inside

The lights are turned way down low
We have a cozy atmosphere with the lights turned down low

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
Let's continue to enjoy the snow and our cozy night in

When we finally kiss goodnight
When we say goodnight to each other

How I'll hate going out in the storm!
I don't want to leave and go out in the snowstorm

But if you'll really hold me tight
But if you hold me close, I'll feel better about it
