Title: Silver bells

------------------------------------



Silver bells, silver bells 

It's Christmas time in the city 

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring 

Soon it will be Christmas day



City sidewalks, busy sidewalks

Dressed in holiday style 

In the air 

There's a feeling of Christmas 



Children laughing 

People passing 

Meeting smile after smile 

And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear 



Silver bells, silver bells 

It's Christmas time in the city 

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring 

Soon it will be Christmas day 



Strings of street lights 

Even stop lights 

Blink a bright red and green 

As the shoppers rush home with their treasures 



Hear the snow crunch 

See the kids bunch 

This is Santa's big scene 

And above all this bustle 

You'll hear 



Silver bells, silver bells 

It's Christmas time in the city 

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring 

Soon it will be Christmas day



Silver bells, silver bells 

It's Christmas time in the city 

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring 

Soon it will be Christmas day...
