每年圣诞节,人们轧制圣诞树,张灯结彩,互赠圣诞礼物,共进圣诞晚餐,唱着圣诞歌曲欢度这一带有浓厚宗教色彩的节日。
圣诞歌曲也成了人们最受欢迎的歌曲,这首《White Christmas》就是其中最广为流传的一首。

《White Christmas》歌词和旋律真诚委婉,柔情舒展,给人们带来美好和温暖。自发行以来,它已被许多艺术家翻唱,由Bing Crosby演唱的版本是世界上最畅销的单曲。
White Christmas歌词:
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
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.
