Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 hear
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
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 this bustle you hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day
The song "Silver Bells" by Mindy Smith describes the atmosphere of a city during the holiday season.

Despite this hustle and bustle, there is an unmistakable feeling of Christmas in the air that the singer can feel. Children are laughing, and people are meeting one another with smiles on their faces. The street corners are filled with the sound of silver bells ringing, announcing the coming of the holiday season.
The second verse of the song continues to paint a picture of the city during Christmas time. Strings of street lights and stop lights blink in bright red and green colors, adding to the festive atmosphere. The shoppers are rushing home with their treasures, eager to share presents with their loved ones. The snow crunches underfoot, and children gather together, excited for Santa's visit. Despite all of this activity, the sound of ringing silver bells can still be heard over the noise of the city.
