Lyrics:
VERSE:
The sun in shining,
The grass is green,
The orange and palm trees sway.
There’s never been such a day
In Beverly Hills, L. A.
But it’s December the twenty-fourth,
And I am longing to be up North.
CHORUS:
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 ev’ry Christmas card I write:
“May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.”
