Winter Wonderland
Reba McEntire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening?
In the lane
Snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
Weโ€ฒre 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 he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
Weโ€ฒll 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 weโ€ฒve made
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that heโ€ฒs a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down

When it snows
Ainโ€ฒt 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




Weโ€ฒre walking in a winter wonderland
Oh ya
