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
Sleigh bells ring are you listening
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 alone
Walking in a winter wonderland
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 the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland

AU ROYAUME DU BONHOMME HIVER (Winter Wonderland)
(Dick Smith / Felix Bernard)
Ensemble Vocal Jazz Bémol 9
Écoutez les clochettes
Du joyeux temps des fêtes
Annonçant la joie
Dans chaque cœur qui bat
Au royaume du bonhomme hiver
Sous la neige qui tombe
Le traîneau vagabonde
Semant tout autour
des chansons d'amour
Au royaume du bonhomme hiver
Le voilà qui sourit sur la place
Son chapeau, sa canne et son foulard
Il semble nous dire d'un ton bonace
Ne voyez-vous donc pas qu'il est en tard
Il dit vrait tout de même
Près du feu, je t'emmène
Allons nous chauffer dans l'intimité
Au royaume du bonhomme hiver
