Winter Wonderland Lyrics

(Sleigh bells ring) are you listening?
(In the lane) snow is glistening
(A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight)
(Walking in a winter wonderland)

(Gone away) is the bluebird
(Here to stay) is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
(Then pretend that he is Parson Brown)
He'll say, "are you married?"
We'll say, "no, man"
But you can do the job when you're in town

(Later on) we'll conspire
(As we dream) by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland

We'll pretend our snowman's Parson Brown
He'll say, "are you married?"
We'll say, "No man"
But you can do the job when you're in town, ooh-ooh
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
