[Intro] Moon on powdered pines Sleigh bells soft and clear Wrap your scarf and settle in The fields and woods are near [Verse 1] We hitch the bay at dawn The harness snug and tight Smoke from chimneys fades behind The village shrinks from sight Through orchard rows of frozen white We find the lane that bends Past fence posts lost in drifts of snow Where the forest ribbon ends [Pre-Chorus] Crisp air on our faces Breath like tiny clouds Hooves keep steady rhythm As the treeline calls aloud [Chorus] Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride Through woods and open plains Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh [Verse 2] We carve a ribbon through the pines Where cedar shadows play Light spills through the branches thin And dusts the world in grey A fox slips off, then darts away A creek hums under ice We steer around a hidden bank And laugh at peril twice [Pre-Chorus] Bells on bobtails ringing Mittens tucked in tight Neighbors wave from porchlight doors We pass their windows bright [Chorus] Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride Through woods and open plains Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh [Verse 3] Past open fields that roll like glass The moon lays down a sheet We race the wind, we hold the reins Our laughter keeps the beat A drift ahead slows velvet hooves We nudge the horse to try He leaps the bank, we tumble free Then roll and shout and cry [Pre-Chorus] Blankets wrung of powder Warmth returned in jokes Fireside plans and stories swapped Under stars like scattered pokes [Bridge] Night opens wide and steady A map of cold-lit dreams We promise to remember this The hush, the stars, the gleam Hitch hope to open sleighs tonight Let business wait till day The woods and fields will guard our tracks We’ll find our way back someday [Chorus — Variation] Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride With friends sing a Sleigh'n song tonight Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride Through woods and open plains [Outro] Slow the bay, breathe the night Keep this moment near Jingle till the morning comes And sing it every year Oh, what fun it is to ride And make a memory today [
