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.

God bless America,
Land that I love,
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with a light from above.

From the mountains to the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam,
God bless America,
My home sweet home.

And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.
