White Christmas
Sinatra & 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 the song "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra are both nostalgic and hopeful. The singers are expressing their desire for a traditional Christmas experience, just like the ones they had in their childhood. They long for snow on the ground and the sound of sleigh bells ringing in the air. The images of glistening tree tops and children eagerly listening heighten the romanticism of the song. The lyrics also convey a sense of longing and the wish for a perfect Christmas, perhaps even a white one, which would make it all the more magical.
The chorus of the song turns the singers' dream into a wish for their listeners as well. They send their holiday greetings and best wishes in the hope that everyone's Christmas will be merry and bright, as well as white. The final farewell, "Merry Christmas, everybody," is warm and inclusive, inviting everyone to share in the joy of the season. Overall, the song is a beautiful sentiment to the spirit of Christmas and the desire for togetherness and warmth during the winter months.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
I long for a Christmas with snow
Just like the ones I used to know
Similar to my childhood memories of festive winters
Where the tree tops glisten and children listen
When the branches shine with snow and kids await Santa's call
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
The sound of the bells as the sleds move in the snow
With every Christmas card I write
As I send my greetings to all my friends and folks
May your days be merry and bright
Wish you a happy and festive holiday season
And may all your Christmases be white
Hope every Christmas brings you wonderful winter snow
Merry Christmas, Bing
Warm wishes of the season to Bing

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.
