The song "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" was written by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne. The song was written on a hot summer day in 1945, during one of the hottest days on record in Southern California. Despite its wintry theme, the song does not have any direct reference to Christmas, but has become a popular Christmas song due to its winter imagery and festive spirit.
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 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'll 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'd 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'd love me so
Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!
