From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Dick Smith, a native of Honesdale, Pennsylvania, was reportedly inspired to write the song after seeing Honesdale's Central Park covered in snow. Smith had written the lyrics while in the West Mountain Sanitarium, being treated for tuberculosis, better known then as consumption.^[1] The West Mountain Sanitarium is located off N. Sekol Ave. in Scranton, Pennsylvania.^{[citation needed]}

The original recording was by Richard Himber and his Hotel Ritz-Carlton Orchestra on RCA Bluebird in 1934. At the end of a recording session with time to spare, it was suggested that this new tune be tried with an arrangement provided by the publisher. This excellent "studio" orchestra included many great New York studio musicians including the legendary Artie Shaw. The biggest chart hit at the time of introduction was Guy Lombardo's orchestra, a top ten hit.^[2] Singer-songwriter Johnny Mercer took the song to #4 in Billboard's airplay chart in 1946. The same season, Perry Como hit the retail top ten. Como would record a new version for his 1959 Christmas album.

Due to its seasonal theme, "Winter Wonderland" is often regarded as a Christmas song in the Northern Hemisphere, although the holiday itself is never mentioned in the lyrics. There is a mention of "sleigh-bells" several times, implying that this song refers to the Christmas period. In the Swedish language lyrics, "Vår vackra vita vintervärld", the word tomtar is mentioned.

In the Johnny Mathis version, the introduction is sung between the first and the second refrain.

In the first bridge section of the song, the built snowman's name is "Parson Brown". In the second bridge, the snowman is labeled as a "circus clown". In some versions of the song, the snowman is imagined as both Parson Brown and the circus clown.

Lyrics

Over the ground lies a mantle of white

A heaven of diamonds shine down through the night

Two hearts are thrilling

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 walking and hoping 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 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

In the meadow we can build a snowman

And pretend that he's a circus clown

We'll have lots of fun with Mr. 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
