Carol Of The Bells / Jingle Bells
Barry Manilow · Other Songs - Barry Manilow
are ringing in the night
the children string there lights upond the tree
the bells of christmas
they sing to me tonight
bring back thoughts of you and me
Central Park
sliding round in the snow
and then after dark
filling the fires burning glow
the bells of christmas
they ring of what could be
for the bells of christmas
they ring for you and me
sunday walks watching ships in the bay
midnight talks we voul
we never let love slip away
the bells of christmas
they ring of what could be
for the bells of christmas
the bells of christmas
the bells of christmas
they ring for you and me

By reimagining the folk origins of the melody with sophisticated production, Manilow ensured the song's enduring popularity, cementing its place in the cultural landscape of the holiday season alongside his other iconic hits.
