White Christmas
During the Christmas season in Germany, you're much more likely to hear these English lyrics on the radio than the German translation.
Music/Text: Irving Berlin (Israel Beilin), 1942
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
