He did not write the song, he only recorded it. Johnny Marks wrote the song.

Marks wrote it and Autrey recorded it for the same reason most song-writers write and singers sing -- because they thought they could make money doing so. Since Autrey's version of the song has sold 25 million (VERY rough estimate) copies, they were probably correct in their opinion.
