Johnny Mathis - Winter Wonderland
Johnny Mathis · Other Songs - Johnny Mathis
In the lane, snow is glist'nin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a 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've made
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
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 season, love knows no clime
Romance can blossom any old time
Here in the open
We're walkin' and hopin' together
Together, together, together
Sleigh bells ring, are you list'nin?
In the lane, snow is glist'nin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is a new bird
He's singing love song, as we go along
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down
When it snows ain't it thrillin'
Tho' your nose gets a chillin'
We'll frolic and play, the eskimo way
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
Winter wonder, winter wonderland
Winter winter, wonder wonderland
