Winter Wonderland
Aretha Franklin (Holiday) Lyrics

Sleigh bells ring are you listening?
Can you hear the jingle of the sleigh bells?

In the lane snow is glistening
The snow covering the ground is sparkling in the light.

A beautiful sight; oh, we're happy tonight
The scene is so picturesque that it fills us with joy.

Walking in a winter wonderland
Strolling through this wintery scene is magical.

Gone away is the bluebird
The warm weather and chirping of the bluebird have disappeared.

Here to stay is a new bird
A different bird has taken its place, indicating the change in season.

He's singing a song as we go along
This new bird is singing in the background as we take a walk.

Well, in the meadow we can build a snowman
There is enough snow in the meadows to build a snowman.

And pretend that he is Parson Brown
We can give our snowman a name, like Parson Brown, and pretend he's alive.

He'll say, are you married? We'll say no man
In our imagination, we'll have a conversation with our snowman and declare that we're not married.

But you can do the job when you're in town
Even though we're not married, we'll tell him that he can become the officiant when we do get married.

Later on we'll conspire
We'll plan together later on in the evening.

As we dream by the fire
As we enjoy a cozy fire, we'll start making plans.

To face unafraid of the plans that we made
We'll be unafraid of the plans we made because we'll face them together.

Walking in a winter wonderland
We'll continue to take a walk in this magical winter wonderland.
