‘Matrimony’ is a song by Gilbert O’Sullivan, first released in 1971 as part of the album ‘Himself’. The satirical lyrics follow a groom-to-be as he discusses the upcoming wedding day with his partner. ‘Matrimony’ was later released as an international single in May 1972, reaching #1 in Norway, #2 in The Netherlands and more (though interestingly, it was never released as a UK single).

► LYRICS
Im not dreaming of a white Christmas
Im not dreaming of a white Christmas
All Im dreaming of the whole day long
Is a peaceful world
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year
To those of you who live in fear
And let us hope that very soon
The peace you seek will then resume
Im not dreaming of a white Christmas
Im not dreaming of a white Christmas
All Im dreaming of the whole day long
Is a peaceful peaceful world
(Im not dreaming of a white Christmas
Im not dreaming of a white Christmas
All Im dreaming of the whole day long
Is a peaceful world)
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year
To those of you who live in fear
And let us hope that very soon
The peace you seek will then resume
Im not dreaming of a white Christmas
Im not dreaming of a white Christmas
All Im dreaming of the whole day long
Is a peaceful peaceful world
I wrote my Christmas song at a time when the majority of plays on the radio was Bing Crosby singing the classic Im Dreaming Of A White Christmas.
I kind of turned it around by singing all I was dreaming of was a peaceful one, and with the war in Ukraine, that message couldnt be more relevant.
And wishing all of you a very happy and peaceful Christmas.
Gilbert
Christmas Song (Im Not Dreaming Of A White Christmas taken from the recently released The Best Of Gilbert OSullivan, shares Gilberts strong messages of peace and prosperity to all.
