Holiday Love Songs Jimmy Van Heusen Dean Martin

A Winter Romance

Jimmy Van Heusen & Sammy Cahn • 1959

A gentle, romantic Christmas song recorded by Dean Martin for his 1959 album of the same name. Rather than leaning on holiday tradition, Cahn’s lyrics focus on the intimacy of the season — snow, warmth, and being in love.
