Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire, it’s so delightful
And since we’ve no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Man, it doesn’t show signs of stopping
And I brought me some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
When we finally kissed goodnight
How I hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I’ll be warm
And 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, and snow!
When we finally kissed goodnight
How I hate going out in the storm
But if you really grabbed me tight
All the way home I’ll be warm
Oh, 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!

About the carol Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
“Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” was written in 1945 by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne. Despite becoming one of the most familiar Christmas songs, the lyrics do not actually mention Christmas. Dean Martin’s relaxed recording became one of the best-known versions, combining the song’s winter imagery with his smooth traditional-pop style.
The song describes someone happily staying indoors with a companion while a snowstorm continues outside. The cold weather creates the reason to remain together beside a warm fire, turning an unpleasant winter storm into something comforting and romantic. Its focus is therefore on companionship and coziness rather than Christmas traditions or religious themes.
Dean Martin’s performance gives the song an especially warm holiday atmosphere. Its connection to Christmas developed because winter weather, fireside scenes and seasonal listening became closely linked with the holiday period. The song demonstrates how a piece of winter music can become part of Christmas culture even without mentioning Christmas itself, largely through decades of recordings, radio programming and holiday traditions.
