Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Dean Martin 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 Man, it doesn’t show signs of stopping And I’ve brought me some corn for popping The lights are turned way down low Let it snow, let it snow When we finally kiss goodnight How I’ll 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 kiss goodnight How I’ll hate going out in the storm But if you really grab 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 Background Also known as “Let It Snow,” it’s a song written by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne in July of 1945. It was written in Hollywood, California during a heat wave as Cahn and Styne imagined cooler conditions. Although the song’s lyrics make no mention of Christmas, it is played on radio stations during the Christmas season and is often covered by various artists on Christmas-themed albums. |
