Legenda jazz dari Amerika Serikat Frank Sinatra menyanyikan lagu "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" sekitar tahun 1950an dan masih menjadi salah satu lagu favorit yang menggambarkan suasana Natal berselimut salju.

Frank Sinatra pertama kali merilis album Natal "Christmas Songs by Sinatra" pada 1948. Label rekaman kemudian beberapa kali merilis ulang album itu dan menambah lagu baru, salah satunya rilisan 1957 dengan tambahan "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!".

Frank Sinatra bukan penyanyi yang pertama kali membawakan "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!", ialah Vaughn Monroe yang merekam lagu ciptaan Sammy Cahn dan Jule Styne tersebut sekitar 1945.

Meskipun lirik "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" tidak secara spesifik menyebut Natal, lagu itu diasosiasikan sebagai perayaan Natal karena menceritakan kenyamanan dan kehangatan bersama orang-orang tersayang saat musim dingin, yang identik dengan Natal.

 

Lirik Frank Sinatra "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!"

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 brought some corn for popping

The lights are turned way down low

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss good-night

How I'll hate going out in the storm

But if you really hold me tight

All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying

And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing

But as long as you love me so

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss good-night

How I'll hate going out in the storm

But if you really hold me tight

All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying

And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing

But as long as you love me so

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
