Winter Wonderland
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, oh, 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
Well, in the meadow we can build a snowman
And 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 of the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow, we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
We have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down
Oh, when it snows, ain’t it filling?
Though your nose gets a chilling
We’ll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland
Wonderland
Wonderland
Listen to the song
Hør sangen
About the carol Winter Wonderland
“Winter Wonderland” was written in 1934 by Felix Bernard and Richard B. Smith. The song was first recorded in the same year and later became a popular seasonal standard through many artists, including Dean Martin. Although it does not mention Christmas directly, its winter imagery has made it a regular part of holiday music.
The song describes a beautiful snowy landscape and the enjoyment of spending time outdoors during winter. It focuses on romance, playfulness and the peaceful feeling created by snow-covered surroundings. The lyrics transform a winter scene into a place of happiness and companionship.
Dean Martin’s smooth vocal style gives the song a relaxed and elegant holiday atmosphere. Its connection to Christmas comes from the way winter scenery has become strongly associated with the holiday season. “Winter Wonderland” represents the seasonal side of Christmas music, celebrating snow, warmth and togetherness rather than specific Christmas traditions.
