White Christmas
OneRepublic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

Oh, I'm dreaming of a Christmas I used to know
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white





May your days be merry and bright
And all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
I am longing for a Christmas where it snows


Just like the ones I used to know
A Christmas like the one from my past


Where the treetops glisten and children listen
The tree branches full of snow sparkle and children are attentive


To hear sleigh bells in the snow
Listening to the sound of the bells from a sleigh in the snow


May your days be merry and bright
Hope your holiday season is filled with happiness and joy


And may all your Christmases be white
Wishing you a snowy Christmas each year

OneRepublic has this special way of making everything better

Melody Lightheart

Amazing how his voice has changed over the years. The way he sings and sounds today is totally different from how he used to 10 years ago. And I can't decide which Ryan I like more because they are both wonderful.
