White Christmas
Dreaming of a Winter Wonderland: Nana Mouskouri's White Christmas
Lyrics
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
I have a desire for a Christmas with snow.
Just like the ones I used to know
Similar to the ones I experienced in the past.
Where the treetops glisten
Describing a scene where the tops of trees sparkle.
And children listen
Depicting a serene moment when children are attentive.
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
Children are eager to listen for the sound of sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Expressing the recurring dream of a snowy Christmas.
With every Christmas card I write
Associating the dream with the act of sending Christmas cards.
May your days be merry and bright
Wishing for joyous and luminous days.
And may all your Christmases be white
Extending a wish for all future Christmases to be white (snowy).
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Reiteration of the desire for a white Christmas.
Just like the ones I used to know
Similar to the ones remembered from the past.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Repetition of the dream of a white Christmas.
Christmas
Emphasis on the theme of Christmas.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Continuation of the dream of a snowy Christmas.
Just like the ones I used to know
Recalling Christmas scenes from the past.
Where the treetops glisten
Reiteration of the image of glistening treetops.
And children listen
Portraying a scene where children are attentive to the sound of sleigh bells.
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
Repeating the imagery of sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Expressing the persistent dream of a white Christmas.
With every Christmas card I write
Linking the dream to the tradition of sending Christmas cards.
May your days be merry and bright
Wishing for joyful and bright days during the Christmas season.
And may all your Christmases be white
Reiterating the wish for all Christmases to be white (snowy).
