Bing Crosby - White Christmas


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
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.

White Christmas was written in 1940 by Irving Berlin for the 1942 film "Holiday Inn" starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. Berlin was the assignment to write a song about each of the major holidays of the year. But Berlin, who was Jewish, found that writing a song about Christmas was the most difficult.

The Second World War had destroyed not only the nations but also the hopes and aspirations of millions of people. With an uncertain future the dark gloomy days were a torment for many. White Christmas was like a cool breeze, giving a feel good and feel relief to the tormented souls. The main reason was the song expresses a sense of hope and peace. At the time the war is over, White Christmas was the biggest selling single, a record uninterrupted for over fifty years. The song success on the charts on October 3, 1942 and rose to number one position on October 31.
