Winter Wonderland/Sleigh Ride
Dolly Parton · Once Upon a Christmas
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
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling too
C'mon, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling yoo-hoo(yoo-hoo)
C'mon, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
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
The face unafraid, the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh baby, c'mon and walk with me
Oh, why don't you
Walk along, talk along, sing along all night
Oh baby
Walk along, talk along, sing along all night
