Winter Wonderland
George Strait · Christmas Collection [Madacy] [2005]
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the land snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in the winter wonderland.
Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is the new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walking in the winter wonderland.
Chorus:
In the meadow we can build a snowman
We'll 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
We'll face unafraid the plans that we made
Walking in the winter wonderland.
