White Christmas

Lyrics

Supraphon recording from 1983 (on LP White Christmas) does not contain the first verse

The sun is 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 24th and I am longing to be up north.

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 your Christmases be white
and may all your Christmases be white.
