White Christmas
Barbra Streisand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
With every Christmas card I write
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
In Barbra Streisand's rendition of the classic Christmas song "White Christmas," the lyrics convey the nostalgic longing for a traditional snowy holiday. The lyrics reminisce on the happy memories of Christmases past and paint a picturesque scene of snow-covered treetops and the sound of sleigh bells in the distance. The gentle melody and soft, wistful vocals of Streisand's version convey a sense of warmth and comfort, which is appropriate for the holiday season.
The lyrics capture the essence of what many people associate with a perfect Christmas: a picturesque setting of snow and treetops decorated with lights, the sound of sleigh bells and the feeling of happiness and memories. They also highlight the importance of connection and togetherness during the holiday season. The lyrics' closing line, "may all your Christmases be white," sums up the hope for continued happiness and joy in future Christmases.
