Lyrics

  1. The wind rushing by sings a song while we glide
    Jingle bells are tinkling as we swing along
    A cold winter sky finds you close by my side
    We’re waltzing in the night on a carpet made of white

Chorus
The moon is swinging low
Shadows are dancing on the snow
While we waltz the winter waltz tonight
We glide on mirrors made of ice
We’re in a winter paradise
While we waltz the winter waltz tonight
Heaven is ours, beneath the stars
We’re in a wonderland
Where diamonds in the sky
Are twinkling and tinkling
There’s snow upon the moon
But in our hearts it feels like June
While we waltz the winter waltz tonight

  1. It seems like a dream as we’re skating along
    Underneath the awning of a winter’s sky
    The wind and the stream seem to echo our song
    Who cares if it may storm? love is there to keep us warm
