Winter Wonderland / Don't Worry Be Happy
Pentatonix feat. Tori Kelly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
The beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is the new bird
He 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 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's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the other kid is knockin' him down

When it snows, ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland

Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry be happy now

Don't worry
Don't worry, be happy




Don't worry, be happy now
Don't worry, 'cause we're walking in a winter wonderland

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 bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He 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 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's a circus clown
We'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 chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a winter wonderland,

Walking in a winter wonderland

@kylemcgregor4933

ok.... dont hate but i disagree.....

@RJoBabe

@Kyle McGregor that’s alright your opinion is right, too. Is it her the pitch of her voice or how she sings in general?

@griffc9696

@Kyle McGregor I feel like she is especially compared to most pop stars tgese days. I think she is a way better singer than Arianna Grande, Rihanna, and others.
