White Christmas
Mannheim Steamroller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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
