Silver Bells

Judy Collins · Christmas At The Biltmore Esta [1997]

Christmas makes you feel emotional

It may bring parties or thoughts devotional

Whatever happens, whatever may be

Here is what Christmas time means to me



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

Greeting smile after smile

And on every street corner you'll hear



Silver bells, silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling

Soon it will be Christmas Day



City street lights, even stoplights

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 the bustle you'll here



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



City sidewalks, busy sidewalks

Dressed in holiday style

In the air, there's a feeling of Christmas



Children laughing, people passing

Greeting smile after smile

And on every street corner you'll hear



Silver bells, silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling, a-ling, a-ling, a-ling

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

Soon it will be Christmas Day
