Written by Irving Berlin in 1942 for use in the movie Holiday Inn, White Christmas became popular with American WWII soldiers and their families. Originally recorded by Bing Crosby, the song became so popular it spawned a movie of the same name, also starring Crosby.
White Christmas
Irving Berlin 1942
verse (intro):
The sun is shining, the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway
There's never been such a day
In Beverley Hills, L. A.
.. But it's De-cember the twen-ty-fourth
.. And I am longing to be up north
main song:
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.
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.
