Due to its seasonal lyrics, "Let It Snow" is commonly regarded as a Christmas Song . Yet despite its cheery, holiday feel, it is a love song that never mentions Christmas . (Cahn and Styne, like Irving Berlin , who penned " White Christmas ," and several other period composers of popular holiday music, were Jews .) The romantic lyrics imply a sexual sub-text, as the storm gives the lovers an excuse to extend their tryst: "But as long as you love me so / Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow." One of the best-selling songs of all time, "Let It Snow" has been covered countless times, with recordings by such wildly varied artists as Boyz II Men , Patsy Cline , Judy Collins , Bing Crosby , Chris Isaak , Dean Martin , Martina McBride , Marie Osmond , Cliff Richard , Jessica Simpson , Carly Simon , Frank Sinatra and Andy Williams . The song gained a resurgence in popularity after it became a recurring theme in the 1988 film '' Die Hard ''. Simpson's version, recorded for her '''' in 2004 (see 2004 In Music ) and produced by Billymann , was the album's first single, and made the top twenty of the Adult Contemporary chart, despite being a limited holiday season single. The Video consists of footage of Simpson clutching an Umbrella against a fake city backdrop with fake Snow . Frank Sinatra 's performance of the song was the 25,000,000th download from Apple 's popular online music service ITunes . EXTERNAL LINKS |
