Silver
Mel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

City side walks, busy side walks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And in every corner you'll 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'll hear.

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

Christmas day.
Silver bells.




Silver bells.
Silver bells

Yesterday when I was scrolling through the news feed I came across a photo of Shannon, Brian Yan, from Brian's Birthday, it's so cute that they've carried their friendship through the years.😊
