Bing Crosby - White Christmas Lyrics

Bing Crosby Lyrics

"White Christmas"

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

The melody of "White Christmas" came to Irving Berlin on the set of the musical film "Top Hat" in 1935. Mark Sandrich, who directed the musical, and Fred Astaire, who played the leading role, would go on to be involved in the making of the film "Holiday Inn" in which the song is prominently featured. Sandrich didn't like the song, but Astaire loved it.

Bing Crosby first recorded this song in 1942 and re-recorded in 1947.

The version of "White Christmas" featured in the film "Holiday Inn" received the Academy Award for "Best Original Song" in 1943.

The film "White Christmas" starring Bing Crosby (and performing this song) was released by Paramount Pictures in 1954.
