Lyrics[]
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
Over the ground lies a man full of white.
A heaven of diamonds in a lovely night.
(instrumental break)
In the meadow, we can build a snowman
Then give him a name and call him Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?" and then we'll say, "No man
But now, you can do the job whenever you're in town"
