Winter Wonderland

About Winter Wonderland

"Winter Wonderland" is a song written in 1934 by Felix Bernard and lyricist Richard Bernhard Smith. Due to its seasonal theme, it is often regarded as a Christmas song in the Northern Hemisphere. Since its original recording by Richard Himber, it has been covered by over 200 different artists, including Air Supply, Jo Stafford, Doris Day, Andy Williams, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers, Johnny Mathis with Percy Faith and His Orchestra, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, Mannheim Steamroller, Amy Grant, Michael Bublé, The Eurythmics, Selena Gomez, Alan Jackson, Radiohead, Snoop Dogg and Elvis Presley. The song's lyrics are about a couple enjoying a picturesque winter landscape. They build a snowman, whom they agree to pretend is Parson Brown. They imagine the snowman asking if the couple is married, to which they tell him that they are not, and tell the snowman that he can marry them. Later the lyrics were changed to a nonsensical Circus Clown replacing the Parson and references to marriage were eliminated. more »

Over the ground lies a mantle of white
A heaven of diamonds shine down through the night
Two hearts are thrillin' in spite of the chill in
The weather

Love knows no seasons, love knows no climb
Romance can blossom, any old time
Here in the open, we're walkin' and hopin'
Together

Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'?
In the lane, snow is glistenin'
A beautiful site, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in the winter wonderland

Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings his love song, as we go along
Walkin' in the 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 made
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
