Lyrics

“White Christmas”

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where those tree-tops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleighbells in the snow.

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
“May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white”.

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
May your days may your days may your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white.
