Silver Bells
Dean Martin · My Kind Of Christmas (2011 Version) [2011]
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 every street corner you hear.
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it'll 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 crush 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 ring
Soon it'll be Christmas day.
(Silver bells, silver bells, silver, silver bells...)
