If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I’ll go but I know
I’ll think of you every step of the way

And I will always love you
I will always love you
You
My darling, you
Mmm-mm

Bittersweet memories –
That is all I’m taking with me
So good-bye
Please don’t cry:
We both know I’m not what you, you need

And I… will always love you
I… will always love you
You, ooh

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you’ve dreamed of
And I’m wishing you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love

And I… will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you

I will always love you
I, I will always love you

You
Darling, I love you
I’ll always
I’ll always love you
Ooh
Ooh

Bing Crosby – White Christmas

The song is about longing for the nostalgic feeling of a “White Christmas,” a Christmas with a blanket of snow all around. The singer is dreaming of a snow-covered Christmas as it was when he was a child. He wishes for all of his friends and family to have the same joy and experience of a white Christmas with the image of treetops glistening, children listening to hear the sound of sleigh bells in the snow, and days that are merry and bright.
