White Christmas
The Three Tenors 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
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
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
And may all you Christmases be bright
The Three Tenors' song "White Christmas" is a classic Christmas song that captures the nostalgic memories of a picture-perfect Christmas, as the lyrics describe a world covered in white snow, sleigh bells ringing and children listening. The first stanza states that the singer is dreaming of a white Christmas, reminiscing about the ones they used to know - this could be interpreted as the singer wishing to go back to a time when things were simpler, and the only thing to worry about was if it was going to snow on Christmas Day. The second stanza talks about how the singer wishes that every Christmas card they write brings joy and happiness to the recipient, and they continue to dream of a white Christmas. The repetition of the first stanza and chorus emphasize how strongly the singer desires a white Christmas and how it is a dream of theirs.
The song could be seen as expressing a longing for a simpler time when things were not as complicated, and Christmas was the only thing on people's minds during the holiday season. The lyrics paint a beautiful picture of a world covered in snow and a sense of childlike wonder, with the focus on the simple joys of life. The reference to sleigh bells and children listening could be seen as a reminder to cherish these simple joys and to focus on spending time with family and friends.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
I am yearning for a Christmas with snow all around me
Just like the ones I used to know
Just like the old times when snow was a common occurrence during Christmas
Where the tree-tops glisten
Glimmering tree-tops with snow adorning them are what I long for
And children listen
I want to hear the sound of children excitedly waiting for Santa Claus to arrive
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
The distinct sound of sleigh bells on snow is what I wish to listen to
With every Christmas card I write
As I send out Christmas cards, I hope for a snowy Christmas for everyone who receives them
May your days be merry and bright
I wish you joyous and lively days filled with happiness and cheer
And may all your Christmases be white
I want you to experience the beauty and splendor of a white Christmas every year
And may all you Christmases be bright
I hope for all your Christmases to be just as lively and cheerful as this one
