Christmas Dreaming
The Rat Pack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm doing my Christmas dreaming a little early this year,
No sign of snow around;
And yet I go around hearing jingle bells ringing in my ear,
Your promise must be the reason,
The happy season is here;
So I'm doing my Christmas dreaming a little early this year
