Winter Wonderland
Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin/Sam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the lane, snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' 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
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 made
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
The song "Winter Wonderland" has been performed by various artists since its creation in 1934, but interpretations from legends like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. are particularly notable. The song describes the joy of walking in a snow-covered wonderland during the winter season. The first verse talks about the peaceful scenery, where sleigh bells are ringing and snow is glistening in the lane, providing a beautiful sight that makes the characters happy. This opening scene sets the stage for the rest of the song, which is about the fun they have while walking in the winter wonderland.
In the second verse, we learn that the bluebird has gone away, and a new bird has appeared, singing a love song. As the characters walk along, they pretend to be engaged in building a snowman in the meadow, and the snowman becomes a kind of matchmaker, asking if they are married. The characters play along and say that they are not married, but the snowman can do the job if he's in town. In the final verse, they plan to dream by the fire at night, facing the plans they've made unafraid, while reminiscing about the enchanting winter walk they had.
