The sun is shining, the grass is green

The orange and palms trees sway.

There’s never been such a day

In Beverly Hills, L.A.

But it’s December the twenty-forth

And I am longing to be up north.

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




Ski Version

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
So I can buy myself new skis.
Seeing snow caps glisten, while children listen
To folks stressing out their knees.

I’m dreaming of a long season,
With every mogul that I shred.
May your passes not cause you woe!
And may all your slopes have perfect snow!
