Lyrics

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 the new bird
He sings a love song as we stroll 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 made
Walking in a winter wonderland

Forjaremos un bombre de nieve
Moreno tiene que parecer
En casado usted grita no bombre
Paren sus deseos que esta aqui

Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland

Happy Birthday, Jesús!

About The Song

From Now The Truth Can Be Told Liner Notes & Song-By-Song Essays, Now The Truth Can Be Told Insert Booklet, August 23rd, 1994:

If you told me that my last recording before retiring as a solo artist would be a mariachi version of a Christmas carol, I would have said, "sure-- where's the microphone?"

If any of my production efforts ever deserved to be a disaster, this was it. I actually found the band in the Yellow Pages, and it wasn't until they arrived in the studio that I asked them if they wouldn't mind translating the third verse into Spanish and singing it. Amazingly, and through no fault of my own, it all worked. Sometimes God smiles on our folly.

Happy birthday, Jesús!
