Brooks was a phenomenal musical force in the 1990s. He had his chart breakthrough in 1989, having come apparently from nowhere, and was an immediate commercial success. Lacking the tall and lanky physical appearance typical of some male country stars, he successfully integrated pop and rock elements into his recordings and live performances. He soon began to dominate the country singles and country albums charts and quickly crossed over into the mainstream pop arena, selling records like no one else in country music ever had and exposing country music to a larger audience than previously thought possible.
Brooks enjoyed one of the most successful careers in popular music history, with over 70 hit singles and 15 charted albums to his credit and over 115 million albums sold in the US alone, breaking records for both sales and concert attendance throughout the 1990s. Possibly dissatisfied and looking to expand his career boundaries, he then attempted an artistically ambitious (but uncompleted) multimedia project involving a fictitious alter ego.
Troubled by the conflicts between career and family, the year after the decade ended Garth Brooks announced his retirement from recording and performing, thereby disappearing from the music world as suddenly as he had come.
Recently he has announced his return to live performances by agreeing to a 5 year 15 show a year contract in Vegas. His plan is to finish this contract, write some new stuff, and wait for his youngest daughter to go off to school, and then he plans to return to touring with his wife.
White Christmas
Garth Brooks 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 Christmas's be white."
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 Christmas's be white."
Garth Brooks's song "White Christmas" is a classic holiday tune about the yearning for a winter wonderland on Christmas day. The lyrics express nostalgia for the Christmas memories of the past, when the world was covered in snow and the treetops shimmered with its heavy load. Garth Brooks's yearning for a white Christmas is a symbol of the hope and optimism that accompanies the holiday season. The singer expresses his desire to experience a snowy Christmas once again, to witness children's joy at listening to sleigh bells in the snow, and to envelop himself in the magical atmosphere of the season.
The song's repetitive structure reinforces the sense of longing that characterizes the lyrics. The refrain repeats the line "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" four times, emphasizing the dream-like quality of the singer's wish. This repetitiveness is coupled with the optimism expressed in the second verse, where Brooks envisions a future filled with "merry and bright" days, all white with the snow of the season. Through his words, Garth Brooks reminds listeners of the power of dreams and the magic of Christmas, and encourages them to hold onto their own hopes and desires.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
I yearn for a Christmas where snow falls beautifully from the sky
Just like the ones I used to know
I reminisce about past Christmases where the snow blanketed everything
Where the treetops glisten
The snow sticks to the branches of the trees, making them look magical
And children listen
The children are so captivated by the snow that they stop and listen to the silence
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
They hope to hear the sound of jingling bells from a horse-drawn sleigh
With every Christmas card I write
Whenever I send a card, I always wish for snow
"May your days be merry and bright,
"I hope your holidays are filled with happiness and joy
And may all your Christmas's be white."
And I wish for snow to fall during all your Christmases to come, just like in the ones I knew before.
