-- = single strum
If you dream of horse drawn carriages
Dashing through the snow
Before you move to Texas
Thereâs something you should know
That they donât have White Christmases in Houston
Iâve lived here most my life and I should know
Iâve prayed and Iâve pleaded for way too many years
But they just donât have White Christmases down here
Iâve heard of winter carnivals in Aspen
It looks just like a winter wonderland
But remember while youâre freezinâ throughout this Christmas season
Weâll be down here with Christmas cheer and flip-flops in the sand
That they donât have White Christmases in Houston
Iâve lived here most my life and I should know
Iâve prayed and Iâve pleaded for way too many years
But they just donât have White Christmases down here
[Repeat chorus chords: ]
Iâve seen all those Christmas shows on TV
Blankets of white powder, my how grand
But while youâve got snow and holly, Iâm feasting on tamales
Sitting on my back porch with an iced tea in my hand
Cause they donât have White Christmases in Houston
Iâve lived here most my life and I should know
Iâve prayed and Iâve pleaded for way too many years
But they just donât have White Christmases down here
Iâve prayed and Iâve pleaded for way too many years
But they just donât have White Christmases down here
