White Christmas
Taylor Swift 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
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
So may your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white




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

This is by far my favorite version of this song, and though I'm a Swiftie it's an unbiased opinion. She just sings it so beautifully and perfectly.
