Silver Bells

Christmas makes us feel emotional
It may bring parties or thoughts devotional
Whatever happens or what may be
Here is what Christmastime means to me

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmastime in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmastime

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 (how children laughed and when they ski in the snow)
Silver bells (bright, smiling faces in the afterglow)
It's Christmastime in the city (in the city, it's Christmastime, joyous Christmastime)
Ring-a-ling (the people passing to and fro will see)
Hear them ring (the tingling-a-ling because how)
Soon it will be Christmastime

City streetlights, 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 this bustle, you hear

(City sidewalks, busy sidewalks) silver bells
(Dressed in holiday style) silver bells
(In the air, there's a feeling of Christmas) it's Christmastime in the city
(Children laughing, people passing) ring-a-ling
(Meeting smile after smile, and now) hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Soon it will be Christmas day
