White Christmas Lyrics
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)
(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 love this! Cheesy as it is (and, yes, every well respected christmas song is appropriatly cheesy) it reminds me of an ideal classic Christmas. I still wish I was a little kid, sometimes.
Cheesy? This is NOT a cheesy song. And I believe it's the best rendition of the tune. Bing's Christmas music is lengendary. He had such a smooth, romantic voice. He brought calm to a room whenever his tunes would play on home stereos. Bing WAS Christmas!!! These are some of his best: Do You Hear What I Hear; O Holy Night; Silent Night; God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman; O Come All Ye Faithful; Joy to the World; Hark the Herald Angels Sing; Silver Bells; The 1st Noel; Santa Claus is Coming to Town; The Little Drummer Boy; and my personal favorite Christmas track: What Child is This.
Either no one is posting on this treasure because s/he already understands the lyrics or they live in a desert :) He may be talking about snow with regard to "white,' but white is also a sign of purity. How perfect a refection of the true meaning of Christmas. This is Bing's best, in my opinion. Then again, all of his Christmas songs are excellent.
His voice was just so smooth and calming. Nobody sings Christmas tunes like Bing did. He was THE MASTER when it came to Christmas music.
This song, written by Irving Berlin, is THE classic Christmas song. It was written for Bing Crosby to sing in the movie "Holiday Inn". It represents his idea (and/or his memory) of what the perfect Christmas is.
