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 goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
About Let It Snow
The Four Freshmen's "Let It Snow" stands as a quintessential example of their sophisticated vocal ensemble style, blending smooth harmonies with a sophisticated swing rhythm. Recorded in the mid-1950s, the track exemplifies the group's signature approach to instrumental jazz-pop, where four voices interweave to create a lush, polyphonic texture that defined the era's vocal jazz landscape. While the song shares thematic elements with holiday music, its primary appeal lies in its timeless arrangement and the group's mastery of counterpoint, making it a staple of swing and vocal jazz repertoires. The recording captures the delicate balance between technical precision and emotional warmth that characterized The Four Freshmen's contributions to American music history.
