Released: October 12, 1987

Songwriter: Felix Bernard Richard B. Smith

Producer: Jimmy Iovine

Over the ground lies a mantle of white
A heaven of diamonds shines out through the night
Two hearts a-thrilling in spite of the chilling 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 having 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 go along
Walking 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, ma'am
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

Scoo, dee, uh, dee, doo, dee, duh
Da, doo, da, doo, da. Da, doo, da, doo, da, yeah
Oh yeah
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow, we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman
Until the other kiddies come around

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

(Walking in a winter wonderland.) Let those sleigh bells ring
(Walking in a winter wonderland.) Tell it like it is
(Walking in a winter wonderland.)
We're slipping and sliding out here, here we go
(Walking in a winter wonderland.) In the cold, cold snow
Yeah, yeah. (Walking in a winter wonderland.)
It's wintertime, it's wintertime, yeah
(Walking in a winter wonderland.) Won't you come down with me
(Walking in a winter wonderland.) Slipping and sliding
Slipping and sliding, slipping and sliding, slipping and sliding
(Walking in a winter wonderland.) slipping and sliding, slipping and sliding
Would you go? Would you go?
(Walking in a winter wonderland.) Would you go? Would you go?
Would you go? Would you go? Would you go? Would you go?
Would you go? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Walking in a winter wonderland.) Come on down, come on down
(Walking in a winter wonderland.) come on, down, come on down, come on down, come on down
(Walking in a winter wonderland.) come on down, down, down, down, down, down, down

Eurythmics

While working as a waitress at a health food restaurant in London, Annie Lennox met Dave Stewart, with whom she formed the band Catch with singer-songwriter Peet Coombes. Catch released one single before adding two more members and changing their name to The Tourists. Under that name, the band scored five UK hits before Coombes' substance abuse broke the band apart.

Lennox and Stewart continued writing together – with Stewart moving from guitar to synthesizer and Lennox adopting an androgynous look – and formed Eurythmics. Within a few years, the duo was propelled into international stardom when “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”, a single from their second album, became a top ten hit in nine countries.

Over the decade, the duo moved away from their dark new wave sound and S&M imagery, evolving into a more mainstream synthpop band. In that time, they scored twenty-one UK top 40’s (ten of which were also US top 40 hits). In 1990, Eurythmics quietly disbanded and Lennox took a break from music to have her first child.
