White Christmas
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten (glisten) and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
With every Christmas card I write
"May your days be merry (merry and bright) and bright
And may all your Christmases be white"
Ooh white Christmas
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
"May your days, may your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white"
"May your days be merry and bright (merry and bright)
And may all your Christmases be white"
White Christmas
Ooh, I'm dreaming, dreaming
Hear the bells, white christmas, white Christmas
Treetops glisten (white Christmas), children listen
To hear the bells (white Christmas)
Snow bells, white Christmas
Dreaming, with every card I write
Dreaming, white Christmas
May your days be bright (white Christmas)
Dreaming, merry Christmas
