I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
I am imagining and wishing for a snowy Christmas celebration
Just like the ones I used to know
Similar to the festive times I had before, I yearn for a white Christmas again
Where those treetops glisten and children listen
The snow on the trees shines and kids stand still to hear the sound of sleigh bells in the snow
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
The sound of the bells strapped to a horse-drawn sled in the snow is such a delight to hear
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
I long for a white Christmas so intensely
With every Christmas card I write
With every note I send wishing others well during this occasion
May your days be merry and bright, oh
May you experience delight and happiness throughout the holiday season
And may all your Christmases be white
I wish for all your Christmases to be snowy and pleasant
I-I-I-I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
I am constantly dreaming and hoping for a white Christmas, so much so that I stutter as I sing it out loud
May your days, may your days, may your days be merry and bright
I sincerely desire for your entire holiday season to be filled with joy and merriment
And may all your Christmases be white
I hope all your Christmas holidays are white and perfect

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 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
Just like the ones I used to know
May your days 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.
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.

Elvis Presley was the best singer and the most handsome man ever.
@IOANAMARIALUPASCU
True!!!!!
@november9109
Most handsome man ever? That's debatable 😂😂😂 best singer now that's facts
@SassyLilMinxxx
@@november9109 Truth. Everything is up for debate, but you’d lose this one. Although to be fair, a large part of the attraction was his charisma…and that’s where more “current” stars would lose every time. They’re 2d cardboard cutouts by comparison. But we both agree that his voice-Lawdy. Perfection. I get chill bumps.
