Silver Bells

City sidewalks

Busy sidewalks

Dressed in holiday style

In the air there's a feeling like Christmas



Children laughing

People passing

Meeting smile after smile

And on every street corner you hear



Silver bells, silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them sing

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 hear



Silver bells, silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them sing

Soon it will be Christmas day
