"Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" is a popular Christmas song originally written by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne in 1945. The song has been recorded by numerous artists over the years, including Harry Connick, Jr. The lyrics describe a cozy winter scene where the weather outside is frightful, but the fire inside is delightful. The story in the song revolves around being snowed in with a loved one and finding joy and warmth in each other's company. The singer acknowledges that they have no place to go and, instead, invites the snow to continue falling. As the snowfall persists, the atmosphere becomes even more intimate and festive. Despite the hassle of being caught in a snowstorm, the singer expresses a desire to stay close to their loved one and enjoy the moment. The act of kissing goodnight becomes bittersweet as the singer dreads venturing out into the storm, but the promise of their partner's embrace provides comfort and warmth. Towards the end of the song, the fire is slowly dying, symbolizing the gradual end of their time together. Despite this, the singer recognizes that as long as they are loved by their partner, they can cherish the memories and embrace the sentiment of the season. The song ends with an optimistic tone, emphasizing the power of love to create a cozy and joyful atmosphere, even in the midst of a snowstorm.
