silver bells

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 meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells silver bells...
(Silver bells) silver bells (silver bells) silver bells soon it will be Christmas Day
