Walking in a Winter Wonderland
Bing Cosby & Dean Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay is a new birdHe sings a love song, As we go along, Walking 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 jobWhen you're in town.
Later on, we'll conspire, As we dream by the fireTo face unafraid, The plans that we've made, Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman, And pretend that he's a circus clownWe'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 chillingWe'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way, Walking in a winter wonderland.
The lyrics of the classic holiday song "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" are a cheerful reminder of the magic and joy that come with wintertime. The opening lines of the song describe the serene atmosphere of a winter night, where one can hear sleigh bells ringing and see snow glistening in the lane. The song then transitions to a love story as the new bird replaces the bluebird, and the lovers walk hand in hand through a winter wonderland, faced with the cheerful snowman, Parson Brown who 'marries' them.
The chorus assures that the couple is happy and enjoying their winter adventure, despite the cold weather, as they conspiratorially dream of exciting plans around the fire. One can imagine the couple having a great time constructing a snowman in the meadow, pretending it to be a circus clown and playing 'Eskimo Way' as the snow starts falling again. The lyrics of the song exude a sense of excitement for the winter season, while the love story underlying it brings warmth and joy to the listeners.
