Silver Bells
SWV Lyrics

Silver bells, silver bells, silver bells
The sound of silver bells can be heard, signaling the arrival of the holiday season.

It's Christmas time in the city
The winter holiday of Christmas has arrived and the city is filled with festive decorations and events.

Ring-a-ling, Ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling, ring
The sound of bells ringing fills the air, adding to the joyful atmosphere of the holiday season.

Hear them sing
Listen to the joyous sounds being made by bells and other instruments.

Soon it will be Christmas day
The big day of Christmas is quickly approaching and the excitement is building.

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
The streets in the city are filled with people rushing around to get things done before the holiday season is in full swing.

Dressed in holiday style
People are wearing festive clothes and accessories to celebrate the season.

In the air there's, (In the air there's)
There is a certain feeling or atmosphere in the air.

A feeling
The feeling in the air is one of excitement and anticipation.

Of Christmas
The holiday season of Christmas is what is causing this feeling.

Children laughing
Kids are filled with holiday cheer and enjoying the festivities around them.

People passing
People are busily going about their holiday errands and activities.

Meeting smile, meeting smile, after smile
As they pass by each other, people are exchanging smiles and warm greetings, further adding to the joyful atmosphere.

And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear
Music and other sounds of the holiday season can be heard all around the city, including on every street corner.

Strings of street lights
Lights are lining the streets in festive colors, adding to the holiday decor.

Even stop lights
The stop lights themselves are decorated and flashing in bright colors, adding to the excitement of the season.

Blinking bright, blinking bright red and green yeah yeah
The lights are shining brightly in the colors of the season, spreading cheer and joy throughout the city.

As the shoppers
People who are out shopping for holiday gifts and decorations.

Rush home, with treasures
Although they are in a hurry, they are excited to head back home with their purchases and get into the holiday spirit.

(Christmas times as time for giving)
The holiday season is seen as a time to be generous and giving to others.

Hear the snow crunch
The sound of fresh snow being stepped on or otherwise moved around can be heard.

See the kids bunch
Children are gathered together, having fun in the snow and enjoying the winter weather.

This is Santa's big scene
The winter holiday of Christmas is Santa's time to shine and show off his generosity and giving spirit.

And above all, this bustle
Despite all the noise and activity of the city during the holiday season,

You will hear, oh, oh, ooh
One of the most prominent sounds to be heard is the ringing of silver bells.
