White Christmas
Disney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
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
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.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
I long for a Christmas with abundant snow


Just like the ones I used to know
Like the Christmases I had in the past


Where the treetops glisten
The surface of the trees shines with snow


and children listen
Kids wait and hope for the sound of the sleigh bells


To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
For the sound of sleigh bells to come to them through the snow


With every Christmas card I write
Whenever I send a greeting card to loved ones on this holiday season


May your days be merry and bright
Wishing them a joyful time


And may all your Christmases be white.
Hoping that they too may have a snowy and wonderful time
