Song lyrics to Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland is a song written in 1934 by Felix Bernard and lyricist Richard B. Smith. It’s often regarded as a Christmas song, though the holiday is never mentioned. Since its original recording by Richard Himber, it has been covered by over 200 different artists, including Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Johnny Mathis, Frank Sinatra, Amy Grant, Michael Bublé, The Eurythmics, and Radiohead.

The song’s lyrics are about a couple enjoying a picturesque winter landscape. They build a snowman, who they agree to pretend is Parson Brown. They imagine the snowman asking if the couple is married, to which they tell him that they are not and tell the snowman that he can marry them.

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
We’ll 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

And 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 kids
Come knock him down

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
Walking in a winter wonderland
We’ll be walking in a winter
Winter wonderland
