Christmas Song Wisdom: Winter Wonderland

 Winter Wonderland

Over the ground lies a mantle of white
A heaven of diamonds shines out through the night
Two hearts a-thrilling
In spite of the chilling weather

Love knows no season, love knows no clime
Romance can blossom any old time
Here in the open
We're walking and hopin' together

Sleigh bells ring, are you list'ning?
In the lane, snow is glist'ning
A beautiful sight, we're havin' tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is the 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've made
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 kids knock him down.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Walking in a winter wonderland,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
