SILVER BELLS LYRICS 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 ll hear (Chorus) Silver bells, silver bells It s Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring 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 ll hear (Repeat Chorus)
