Snow
Rosemary Clooney (1) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Snow
It won't be long before we'll all be there with snow
Snow
I want to wash my hands, my face and hair with snow

Snow
I long to clear a path and lift a spade of snow
Snow
Oh, to see a great big man entirely made of snow

Where it's snowing
All winter through
That's where I want to be
Snowball throwing
That's what I'll do
How I'm longing to ski
Through the snow-oh-oh-oh-oh

Those glist'ning houses that seem to be built of snow
Snow
Oh, to see a mountain covered with a quilt of snow

What is Christmas with no snow
No white Christmas with no snow
Snow

I'll soon be there with snow
I'll wash my hair with snow
And with a spade of snow
I'll build a man that's made of snow
I'd love to stay up with you but I recommend a little shuteye
Go to sleep




And dream
Of snow

Overall Meaning

The song "Snow" by Rosemary Clooney is a beautiful tune that celebrates the snowfall during the winter season. The song talks about how wonderful it would be to experience the snow, to wash your hands, face, and hair with snow and to see a mountain covered entirely with snow. The song also mentions how the snow can bring people together, such as when they throw snowballs or when they ski. It is also interesting to note the lyrics “What is Christmas with no snow” as the song talks about a white Christmas which is celebrated in most western countries on the 25th of December.

In her prime and singing the song from one of my favorite Christmas movies "White Christmas 🌲💖

Bill Soderholm

I watch it with my daughters and wife every year at Christmas. One of my favorite movies of all time regardless of it being a Holiday movie.

Easily one of my favorite Christmas songs, but it needs 4 parts, or at least a duet. I love Rosemary Clooney, but the song itself just needs someone else to respond back to

Fredayday Bae

Love it!!

Niz Loc

Oi! Juat heard this for this first time while decorating

These old christmas songs are legit as hell..... well before I was born, but somehow feels more "my childhood". Not sure how that works, but it does

Christopher Doyle

Same! I thought I’d heard them all! Last night I also heard for first time Doris Day’s version of Christmas Waltz! 2 new favs added to my playlist!

Kiono Hiemalis
