Winter
Lynn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening in the lane
Snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away, is the blue bird
Here to stay, is the new bird
He sings a love song,
While we stroll along
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And 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
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And 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
Walking in a winter wonderland

To face unafraid




The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
