Snow
Rosemary Clooney Percy Faith and His Orchestra 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 song "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" is a classic holiday tune that describes a wintry scene with coziness and warmth. The lyrics portray a desire to stay inside with loved ones, as the snow falls outside. The first verse sets the scene with the external conditions being described as "frightful." However, inside, the fire provides a delightful source of heat. As the snow continues to fall, the singer reveals that they have "no place to go" and suggests that they should embrace the snowy weather.
The second verse presents a contrast with the first as it describes the preparations being made inside. The lights are turned down low and popcorn is being popped, adding to the cozy atmosphere. In the third verse, the singer expresses reluctance to leave the warmth, but the prospect of a kiss goodnight incentivizes them to go out in the storm. Finally, in the last verse, the fire is dying and goodbyes are being exchanged. However, as long as the love between the two persists, the singer is content to stay in the cold and snowy weather.
