Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Despite the lyrics of the song, hereunder, making no mention whatsoever of Christmas, same has come to be regarded as a Christmas song worldwide, possibly due to its winter theme.
Indeed, the song was actually first written in July 1945, in Hollywood, California, U.S., during a heat wave.

Same continues to be played on Irish radio stations during the Christmas season, and has often been included on Christmas-themed music albums by various songsters.

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Vocals: Mr Frank Sinatra
Music & Lyrics:
Mr Jule Styne and Mr Samuel Cohen [Latter known professionally as Mr Sammy Cahn].

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful.
Since we’ve no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It doesn’t show signs of stoppin’,
And I’ve brought some corn for poppin’.
The lights are turned down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When we finally kiss good night,
How I’ll hate going out in a storm,
But if you’ll really hold me tight,
All the way home I’ll be warm.
The fire is slowly dyin’,
And my dear, we’re still goodbyin’.
As long as you love me so,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
He doesn’t care if it’s ten below.
He’s sitting by the fire’s gloosy glow.
He don’t care about the cold and the winds that blow.
He just says, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow (let it snow!).
Ooh-wee, goes the storm,
Why should he worry when he’s nice and warm?
His girl by his side and the lights turned low,
He just says, let it snow, let it snow (I don’t care!).
The weather outside is frightful,
But that fire, umm, delightful.
Since we’ve no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It doesn’t show signs of stoppin’,
And I’ve brought lots of corn for poppin’.
The lights are way down low,
So let it snow, let it snow, let it snow (let it snow!).
When we finally say good night,
How I’ll hate going out in a storm,
But if you’ll only hold me tight,
All the way home I’ll be warm.
The fire is slowly dyin’,
And my dear, we’re still goodbyin’.
Long as you love me so,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
