Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Woody Herman and His Orchestra 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!

Oh the weather outside is frightful
The weather outside is terrible


But the fire is so delightful
Fortunately, we have a cozy fire to enjoy


And since we've no place to go
We can't go out because of the bad weather


Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Might as well embrace the snow and enjoy ourselves indoors


It doesn't show signs of stopping
The snow won't be stopping anytime soon


And I've bought some corn for popping
We have snacks to keep us entertained


The lights are turned way down low
The ambiance is quiet and calming


Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
There's no need to worry about the snow, it can be enjoyed


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


How I'll hate going out in the storm!
The storm is awful and I won't enjoy going outside


But if you'll really hold me tight
If you hold me tightly, it will make the trip home worth it


All the way home I'll be warm
You keeping me warm will make the trip home much more bearable


The fire is slowly dying
The fire is slowly burning out


And, my dear, we're still goodbying
We're still saying our goodbyes even though the night is coming to an end


But as long as you love me so
As long as you still love me


Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
We can still enjoy the snow and the cozy atmosphere until we say our final goodbyes

I like this version and the Vaughn Monroe version best. Sonny Berman has the Trumpet Solo and Bill Harris the Trombone Solo. Too bad no Flip Philips Temp Sax Solo.
