Snow

Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby

Snow

It won't be long before we'll all be there with snow

Snow

I want to wash my hands, my face and hair with snow

Snow

I long to clear a path and lift a spade of snow

Snow

Oh, to see a great big man entirely made of snow

Where it's snowing

All winter through

That's where I want to be

Snowball throwing

That's what I'll do

How I'm longing to ski

Through the snow-oh-oh-oh-oh

Those glist'ning houses that seem to be built of snow

Snow

Oh, to see a mountain covered with a quilt of snow

What is Christmas with no snow

No white Christmas with no snow

Snow

I'll soon be there with snow

I'll wash my hair with snow

And with a spade of snow

I'll build a man that's made of snow

I'd love to stay up with you but I recommend a little shuteye

Go to sleep

And dream

Of snow

Snow - Bing Crosby

Bing Crosby's rendition of 'Snow' stands as a quintessential example of his mastery in vocal storytelling and intimate balladry. Recorded during the golden age of radio and early television, the track exemplifies Crosby's signature style: a warm, conversational tone that invites listeners into a personal narrative. The song captures the quiet melancholy and nostalgia often associated with winter scenes, delivered with a gentle acoustic arrangement that highlights the singer's technical precision and emotional depth. As a staple of his discography, 'Snow' reflects the era's preference for sentimental pop and country-adjacent ballads, cementing Crosby's reputation as the 'People's Singer' through his ability to convey complex feelings through simple, unadorned phrasing. This recording remains a cherished piece of American musical history, illustrating how Crosby transformed standard pop material into deeply personal expressions of longing and reflection.
