Winder Wonderland"Winter Wonderland" is a Christmas time pop standard written in 1934 by Felix Bernard (composer) and Richard B. Smith (lyricist). It has been recorded many different times by such artists as Bob Dylan, George Strait, Tony Bennett, Karen Carpenter, Perry Como, Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Eurythmics, Elvis Presley, Goldfrapp, Cyndi Lauper, Darlene Love, Johnny Mathis, Ozzy Osbourne, Dolly Parton, Frank Sinatra, Stryper, Jason Mraz, the Cocteau Twins, Selena Gomez & The Scene, and the Italian singer Enrico Ruggeri. Dick Smith, a native of Honesdale, Pennsylvania, was reportedly inspired to write the song after seeing Honesdale's Central Park covered in snow. As well as the house he grew up in during the holidays, you can see a cut placed in the window depicting Mr. Smith as a child (information from a relative). Mr. Smith had written the lyrics while in the West Mountain Sanitarium, being treated for tuberculosis, better known back then as consumption. The West Mountain Sanitarium is located off N. Sekol Ave. in Scranton, PA. Source: Wikipedia 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 along, 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've made, Walking in a Winter Wonderland. Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the lane, snow is glistening A beautiful sight, We're happy tonight. Walking in a 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 kids knock him down. When it snows, ain't it thrilling? Though your nose gets a chilling We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way, Walking in a Winter Wonderland. ( 3x ) Clay Aiken |
