WHITE CHRISTMAS

White Christmas by Bing Crosby (1947)
  
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas                I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know                    With every Christmas card I write
Where the treetops glisten                               May your days be merry and bright
and children listen                                           And may all your Christmases be white
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
