Cit y side walks, bus y side walks dressed in hol i day style,
in the air there’s a feel ing
of Christ mas.
Chil dren laugh ing, peo ple pass ing, meet ing smile af ter smile,
and on ev ’ry street cor ner you hear:
Sil bells,
sil ver bells,
it’s Christ mas time
in the cit y.
Ring ling,
hear them ring,
soon it will be Christ mas Day!
Strings of street lights, e ven stop lights, blink a bright red and green,
as the shop pers run home with
their treas ures.
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, this is San ta’s big scene,
and a bove all this bus tle you hear:
Sil bells,
sil ver bells,
it’s Christ mas time
in the cit y.
Ring ling,
hear them ring,
soon it will be Christ mas Day!
Strings of Day!
