Lyrics
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight
Walkin’ in a winter wonderlandGone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walkin’ in a winter wonderlandIn the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is parson brown
He’ll say are you married
We’ll so no man,
But you can do the job when you’re in townLater on we’ll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we made
Walkin’ in a winter wonderland
