Winter Wonderland
The Fab Four Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Ah, rock on
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 kiddies knock him down
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
Ah, rock on, one time for me
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Ah, walking in a winter wonderland
Yeah, walking in a winter wonderland
The Fab Four's Winter Wonderland is a classic holiday tune filled with images of a picturesque winter landscape. The opening lines "Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the lane, snow is glistening" immediately transport the listener into the winter wonderland being described. The song goes on to describe a variety of winter experiences, from building a snowman in the meadow to dreaming by the fire.
The song also references a character named Parson Brown, who is asked if he is able to marry the couple in the song. This suggests the possibility of a romantic relationship between the couple walking in the winter wonderland, adding a layer of sweetness to the already charming lyrics. The song closes with a repetition of the opening lines, emphasizing the magical and joyful nature of this winter wonderland.
