Lyrics
Over the ground lies a mantle of white
A heaven of diamonds shine down thru the night
Two hearts are thrillin’ in spite of the chill in the weather
Love knows no season, love knows no clime
Romance can blossom any old time
Here in the open, we’re walkin’ and hopin’ together
Refrain
Sleighbells ring, are you list’nin’?
In the lane, snow is glist’nin’
A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight
Walkin’ 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
Walkin’ 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 made
Walkin’ in a winter wonderland
Refrain
Sleighbells ring, are you list’nin’?
In the lane, snow is glist’nin’
A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight
Walkin’ in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He’s singing a song, as we go along
Walkin’ in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he’s a circus clown
We’ll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman
Until the other kiddies knock ‘im down
When it snows, ain’t it thrillin’?
Tho’ your nose gets a chillin’
We’ll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walkin’ in a winter wonderland
