| "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!", also known as "Let It Snow", is a song written by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne in July 1945. It was written in Hollywood, California during a heat wave as Cahn and Styne imagined cooler conditions.[1] 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... |

Words by Sammy Cahn (18 June 1913 – 15 Jan 1993)
Music by Jule Styne (31 Dec 1905 - 20 Sept 1994), 1945
"The wonderful Christmas song Let It Snow was created by
lyricist Sammy Cahn and the composer Jule Styne in 1945.
The words and lyrics of
Let It Snow reflect the feeling of warmth and security associated with Christmas
and also brings in the more modern customs of popping corn!
The song Let It Snow
was reprised in recent years when used in the Bruce Willis film Die Hard which
started with the film's hero travelling to meet his family at Christmas."
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!
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! 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.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
