Silver Bells

Louis Armstrong


City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air 
There's a feeling like Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear

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 
The bustle you hear

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