White Christmas
Frank Sinatra & Bing Crosby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the 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
Don't just stand there
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
Merry Christmas, Bing
Merry Christmas, Frank
Merry Christmas, everybody
The lyrics to Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby's song "White Christmas" are inspired by the traditional Christmas season of snow, sleigh bells, and cheer. The first verse exemplifies the image of a perfect Christmas, reminiscing on the days when everything was straightforward, beautiful, and peaceful. The following three lines carry that beautiful imagery further into detail, explaining that the children are listening to the Christmas carols and the sound of the bells ringing through the silent snow.
The second verse, although identical in its melody, seeks to pass the same sentiment through other channels. The singer hopes that those receiving their Christmas card would also have a delightful holiday season. The lyrics show that the singers are keen on Christmas imbued with joy and happiness, expressed through the phrase "May your days be merry and bright." The final sentence highlights this wish once again, wishing that all Christmas celebrations will remain white and full of gaiety.
Overall, the song reflects the simple yet beautiful nature of Christmas, bringing together loved ones and spreading joy with every celebration.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow, oh, the snow
I said, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas' be white
(Let's go, sticks, let's go)
I said, I'm dreaming of a white, oh, Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And the 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, may your days, may your days
Be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas' be white
(Come on now, woo)
(J-man, up, up, up)
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas' be white

Christmas is a such great holiday! I am a Muslim but I love Christmas music and Christmas time. Something about it just warms the heart. Makes you think that no matter what you believe in we all share the same feeling called love to things that unite us and bring us closer.
