White Christmas
Otis Redding's Soulful Dream: A White Christmas Reverie
Lyrics
I, I'm dreaming, dreaming of a white, white Christmas, y'all
I am dreaming of a snowy Christmas.
Just like the one that I used to know, oh
Similar to the ones I experienced in the past.
Honey, it's where the treetops, treetops glisten
Referring to the beauty of snow-covered treetops.
Little bitty, little bitty, little bitty children
Describing small children eagerly trying to hear something.
They trying to listen
Children attempting to listen intently.
To hear, before the sleigh bells that are ringing in the snow
Anticipation of sleigh bells ringing in the snow.
I want to tell you one more time what I'm thinking about
Expressing a desire to share thoughts one more time.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, yeah
Reiterating the dream of a white Christmas.
With every Christmas card that I write you, oh
Connecting the dream to Christmas cards being written.
I want you to know
Expressing a wish for the recipient to know something.
May your days, may your days
May your days be joyful and bright.
Be so merry, merry and bright
Wishing for happiness and brightness throughout the days.
Oh darling I wished all of them
Expressing a desire for the well-being of the recipient.
One more thing
Introducing an additional thought or wish.
And may all, all of your Christmases
May all your Christmases be...
And be all, and be all of your Christmases
...filled with joy and brightness.
Baby may your days, may your days
Repeating the wish for merry and bright days.
Be merry, merry, so merry and bright
Continuing the wish for joyful and bright days.
Lord have mercy, I wished all of 'em honey
Expressing a heartfelt desire for the well-being of the recipient.
And may all your Christmases
Repeating the wish for all Christmases to be bright.
Be so white
Emphasizing the hope for a snowy, white Christmas.
Have mercy, all the white
Expressing a desire for all Christmases to be snowy and white.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Reiterating the dream of a white Christmas.
I'm dreaming, dreaming of a white, white Christmas
Continuing the dream of a snowy Christmas.
Baby, baby, Lord I'm dreaming, dreaming of a Christmas
Expressing the dream of Christmas joyfully.
Yeah, baby, Merry Christmas
Wishing a Merry Christmas.
