Steve Lawrence Eydie Gorme 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 lyrics of Let It Snow! by Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme describe a scene of a cold and stormy night. The singer is inside by the fire with their loved one as they watch the snow fall outside. They express their contentment with being indoors, safe and warm, and the desire to stay there as the snowstorm continues. They talk about the low lights and the popcorn, elements that bring about a cozy and romantic atmosphere.


The second verse speaks of the snowstorm not showing any signs of stopping and the anticipation of enjoying a nice bowl of popcorn. The singer talks of the prospect of cuddling up with their loved one, which makes them wish they wouldn't have to go out in the storm. However, they express how they would feel all warm and snuggly in the arms of that loved one. The third and final verse talks about the fire dying down and saying goodbye, but as long as their loved one is still with them, they are happy to weather the storm.
