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 sing
Soon it will be Christmas day
(Verse 2)
Strings of streetlights, even stoplights
Blinkin', winkin' red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids rush
By the decorated tree
And as they dream happily
(Chorus)
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day
(Bridge)
Somewhere in the crowd there's a youngster
Who is thinking what we're thinking
What a wonderful life I'm living
In the city of New York
What a happy Christmas this will be
(Chorus)
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
(Outro)
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
