Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the lane, snow is glist'nin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight,
Walkin' in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the blue bird, (blue bird)
Here to stay is a new bird, (new bird)
He sings a love song, (aha) as we go along (aha)Walkin' in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman, (snowman)
Then pretend that he is parson brown;
He'll say, "are you married?" We'll say, "no man! (no man)
But you can do the job when you're in town."
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire (fire-fire)
To face unafraid, (aha) the plans that we made (aha)
Walkin' in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman, (snowman)
Then pretend that he is parson brown;
He'll say, "are you married?" We'll say, "no man! (no man)
But you can do the job when you're in town."
Later on, (later on) we'll conspire (we'll conspire)
As we dream by the fire (as we're sittin' dreaming by the fire)
To face unafraid, (aha) the plans that we made (aha)
Walkin' in a winter wonderland, (ah ah ah ah -)
Walkin' in a winter wonderland, (winter wonderland)
Walkin' in a winter wonderland, (walkin' in a)
Walkin' in a winter wonderland.
I was walkin',I was walkin',
I was winter wonderland due last night.
We were walkin,
We were talkin'
We were winter wonderland due last night. (yeah)
Merry christmas
Merry christmas to you.
"did you get that? Great! That's it for me!"
