Lyrics White Christmas

White Christmas, written by Irving Berlin in 1940, was inspired by Berlins longing for the traditional snowy Christmas of the northern United States, a stark contrast to the warm Californian weather he was experiencing. First performed by Bing Crosby in 1942, the song quickly became an emblem of nostalgia and hope during World War II, making it one of the best-selling singles of all time. 

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 the 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.
Where the tree tops glisten,
And children listen,
To hear the sleigh bells in the snow.

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,
 With every Christmas card I write.
May your dreams be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white.
