Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
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 be merry and bright,
And may all your christmases be white
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
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your christmases be white
And may all your christmases be white (All your christmases be white)
And may all your christmases be white (All your christmases be white)
And may all your christmases be
(All your christmases be white)
(All your christmases be white)

I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
I wish for a snowy Christmas like the ones from my past.
Just like the ones I used to know
Just like the snowy Christmas memories I have in my mind.
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
When snow-covered trees sparkle under the lights and children eagerly await the sound of sleigh bells.
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
When the only thing you can hear during the serene snowfall is the jingling sound of sleigh bells.
With every christmas card I write
As I send out Christmas cards, I hold onto my hopes for snow.
May your days be merry and bright,
I hope that your holidays are filled with joy and happiness.
And may all your christmases be white
I hope all your Christmases have the magic of snow.

(All your christmases be white)
And may all your christmases be
I desire that all your Christmases bring you the same unforgettable feelings as those you had in the past.
