Dean Martin - Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Lyrics
Lyrics
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
Man, it doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've brought me some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
And 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, and snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really grab me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
Oh, 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

Meaning & Inspiration
Dean Martin's iconic rendition of "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" released officially on November 13, 2019, offers a surprisingly profound secular reflection on embracing the present moment, a sentiment that resonates deeply with biblical principles of finding contentment and joy regardless of outward circumstances. While not a Christian song, its invitation to surrender to the beauty of a snow-laden world and to find refuge in companionship can be interpreted through the lens of biblical teachings on faith and fellowship. The song captures a powerful desire to escape the external pressures and anxieties of the world, much like the Psalmist's yearning for God's presence when he declares, "My soul thirsts for God, for the living God" (Psalm 42:2). The desire to hunker down, to let the snow fall, and to simply enjoy the company of loved ones mirrors the biblical encouragement to find peace in stillness and in shared human connection. When Martin croons about the weather outside being frightful, but the fire so delightful, it evokes the sense of sanctuary and security that can be found when we focus on the blessings we *do* have, rather than dwelling on what we lack. This echoes the Apostle Paul's teaching in Philippians 4:11-12, where he states, "I am not saying this because I am in need. For I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in every and every situation, whether fat or thin." The song, therefore, becomes an anthem for appreciating the simple, intimate moments, a reminder that true richness often lies not in grand possessions or favorable conditions, but in the warmth of relationships and the ability to find beauty and peace even when the world outside feels overwhelming. It encourages a focus on the "delightful" within our own immediate sphere, fostering a sense of gratitude that is a cornerstone of a life lived in faith and thankfulness.
