Snow
Sun/Rain_Flower 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 lyrics of the song “Let it Snow” by Sun/Rain_Flower perfectly encapsulate the cozy feeling of being indoors during a snowstorm. The song starts with the classic line “Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful” which describes the perfect setting for a snow day. Despite not having anywhere to go, the singer encourages the snow to continue to fall, creating a snug and comfortable environment.
The second stanza of the song shows the singer happily preparing for a long day inside, having bought popcorn for popping while the lights are turned down low, the ideal mood for a warm atmosphere. The third stanza focuses on the intimacy shared by two people in the midst of a snowstorm. The line, “when we finally kiss goodnight, how I'll hate going out in the storm,” emphasizes the reluctance of the singer to leave the warmth of their partner. Yet, if their partner holds them tight, they will be warmed all the way home.
The final stanza is an acknowledgment of the dying fire, a nod to the eventual end of the snow day. The bittersweet farewell is tempered by the reassurance of the enduring love shared between the two speakers. Thus, the song creates a perfect image of the ideal winter day spent indoors, sharing warmth and creating fond memories.

Oh the weather outside is frightful
The weather outside is unpleasant, probably snowing
But the fire is so delightful

And since we've no place to go
There's no reason to leave the warmth of the fire
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
If it's going to snow, they might as well embrace it and enjoy it
It doesn't show signs of stopping
The snow doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon
And I've bought some corn for popping
They have snacks to enjoy, like popcorn, while they wait inside
The lights are turned way down low
They've set a cozy and intimate atmosphere inside by dimming the lights
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
Still embracing the snow, they're content staying inside
When we finally kiss goodnight
When the night comes to an end and they say goodbye
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
The thought of leaving the warmth and comfort of the fire and going out into the snow is unpleasant

All the way home I'll be warm
With their partner, even the journey home in the snow will feel warm and comfortable
The fire is slowly dying
The once-warm fire is now burning out
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
The night is coming to an end and they're saying goodbye to each other
But as long as you love me so
But as long as they are loved, everything will be alright
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
Ending with the same line, they're willing to embrace and enjoy the snow, knowing that they have love to keep them warm
