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
And may all your Christmases be white
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
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all you Christmases be bright

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
I yearn for a Christmas covered in snow
Just like the ones I used to know
Similar to my past merry Christmas experiences
Where the tree-tops glisten
When snow adorns tree branches
And children listen
Children await to hear something magical
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
When Santa's sleigh bells sound on the snowy night
With every Christmas card I write
Every time I offer someone a greeting message
May your days be merry and bright
I wish you a period of joyful festivity and optimism
And may all your Christmases be white
May every Christmas you celebrate be snowy and magical
