Silver Bells John Prine

[Verse 1]
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style
In the air there is a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing, greeting 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'll be Christmas Day

[Verse 2]
Strings of streetlights, even stop lights blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Here the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, it's Santa's big day
And above all the hustle you'll hear

[Chorus]
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it'll be Christmas Day

[Chorus]
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it'll be Christmas Day
