Over the ground lies a mantle of white
a heaven of diamonds
shine down thro' 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!

Sleigh bells ring
are you list'nin'?
In the lane snow is glist'nin'
a beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
walkin' in a 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 a 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!

Sleigh bells ring
are you list'nin'?
In the lane snow is glist'nin'
a beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
walkin' in a 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 a 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!

Sunshine has gone
and the blue skies are grey
but what do we care?
the love dawning today
gives a new glory to life
in the story unfolding.
Blows the wind coldly,
hearts warmer glow
so on our journey
proudly I'll go,
free from alarms, dear,
while you in my arms
I am holding.

Sleigh bells ring
are you list'nin'?
In the lane snow is glist'nin'
a beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
walkin' in a 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 a 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!

Sleigh bells ring

In the lane snow is glist'nin'
a beautiful sight

walkin' in a winter wonderland!
Gone away is the blue bird
here to stay is a new bird,

to face unafraid
the plans that we made
walkin' in the winter wonderland!

I was amazed I'd never done this one - and I played it often
enough in the days that I could..... :-)
