Winter Wonderland
Ella Fitzgerald Lyrics

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
The sound of the bells on a sleigh can be heard - are you paying attention?

In the lane snow is glistening
The snow on the ground is shining bright in the light - it looks beautiful.

A beautiful sight, oh, we're happy tonight
The sight of the snow is so stunning that it's made us feel joyful and content.

Walking in a winter wonderland
We are walking in a magical winter setting.

Gone away is the bluebird
The bluebird, a symbol of happiness, has left for the winter.

Here to stay is a new bird
A new bird has arrived for the winter, signaling new beginnings and hopefulness.

He's singing a song as we go along
The new bird is singing a tune as we continue on our walk.

Walking in a winter wonderland
We are still walking in the enchanting winter scene.

Well, in the meadow we can build a snowman
We have the opportunity to build a snowman in the open fields.

And pretend that he is Parson Brown
We can use our imagination and pretend our snowman is a person named Parson Brown.

He'll say, are you married? We'll say no man
Our imaginary snowman-Parson Brown will ask if we are married, but we'll say no.

But you can do the job when you're in town
We tell our snowman-Parson Brown that he is welcome to officiate a wedding when he is in town.

Later on we'll conspire
We will scheme together in secret.

As we dream by the fire
As we relax by the fireplace and let our minds wander.

To face unafraid of the plans that we made
When we carry out our secret plans, we will be confident and fearless.

Walking in a winter wonderland
We will still be strolling through the magical winter environment.

Are you listening?
Again, are you paying attention to the sleigh bells?

Snow is glistening
The snow is still glowing radiantly.

A beautiful sight, oh, we're happy tonight
The scenery is still so stunning that it's keeping us in a blissful state.

Walking in a winter wonderland
And we are still wandering through the winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And we are still planning to construct a snowman in the meadow.

And pretend he's a Parson Brown
And we will continue to use our imagination and act as if he's Parson Brown.

He'll say, are you married? We'll say no man
And we will still tell our pretend snowman-Parson Brown that we aren't married.

But you can do the job when you're in town
We will still invite our make-believe Parson Brown to perform a wedding when he's in town.

Later on we'll conspire
Our whispers still continue as we secretively plot.

As we dream by the fire
We're still daydreaming by the fire.

To face unafraid of the plans that we made
We are still confident in our plans and will face them without fear.

Walking in a winter wonderland
And we are still enjoying our midnight stroll in the breathtaking winter wonderland.
