Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow! by Dean Martin
Verse 1
Oh, the [D]weather out-[A]side is [D]frightful,
But the [A]fire is so de-[A7]lightful,
And [Em]since we've no place to go,
Let it [A]snow, let it [A7]snow, let it [D]snow.
Verse 2
Oh, it [D]doesn’t show [A]signs of [D]stopping,
And I’ve [A]brought some corn for [A7]popping,
The [Em]lights are turned way down low,
Let it [A]snow, let it [A7]snow, let it [D]snow.
Bridge
When we [A]finally kiss good night,
How I [E7]hate going out in the [A]storm.
But if you really hold me tight,
[D7]All the way [E7]home I'll be [A]warm. [A7]
Chorus
Oh, the [D]fire is [A]slowly [D]dying,
And my [A]dear we’re still good-[A7]bye-ing,
But as [Em]long as you love me so,
Let it [A]snow, let it [A7]snow, let it [D]snow.
Bridge
When we [A]finally kiss good night,
How I [E7]hate going out in the [A]storm.
But if you really hold me tight,
[D7]All the way [E7]home I'll be [A]warm. [A7]
Chorus
Oh, the [D]fire is [A]slowly [D]dying,
And my [A]dear we’re still good-[A7]bye-ing,
But as [Em]long as you love me so,
Let it [A]snow, let it [A7]snow, let it [D]snow,
Let it [A]snow, let it [A7]snow, let it [D]snow!

The Story Behind the Song
“Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!” was written in July 1945 during a sweltering heatwave in Hollywood, which is part of what makes its story so memorable. The song was created by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne, who were trying to imagine winter weather while sweating through unusually hot summer conditions.
Interestingly, the song has nothing to do with Christmas in its lyrics. Instead, it tells a cozy romantic story of two lovers enjoying being stuck indoors together while a snowstorm rages outside. The focus is on warmth, comfort, and affection rather than holiday themes.
