America es una banda de rock folk estadounidense y británica, que se originó en Londres en 1970.

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling, yoo-hoo
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, let's go, let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, it's grand, just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song of a wintry fairyland
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy-cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
There's a birthday party at the home of farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs, we love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop, pop, pop, pop
There's a happy feeling, nothing in the world can buy
When you pass around the cider and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives
These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling, yoo-hoo
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
For a sleigh ride together with you, sleigh ride together with you
Sleigh ride together with you
