FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS SONG # 7 - Silver Bells

 

Despite the general awfulness of the Christmas song there are however always exceptions to the rule and I have a short list of personal favorites.

Without exception all my choices not only include the song but the best performer of that song and so in no particular order here is my seventh selection.

 

“Silver Bells” written by Jay Livingston and Roy Evans and performed by Sir Terry Wogan and Aled Jones

 

Silver bells, silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling (ring-aling) hear them sing (ting-a-ling)

Soon it will be Christmas day

 

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks.

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'll hear

 

Silver bells (silver bells), silver bells (silver bells)

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling (ring-aling) hear them sing (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 rush

This is Santa's big day

And above all this bustle you'll hear

 

Silver bells (corner St. Clause)

silver bells (It's busy now because ..)

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling (it fills the winters air)

hear them sing (you'll hear it everywhere)

Soon it will be Christmas day

 

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks.

Dressed in holiday style

In the air there's a feeling of Christmas

Children laughing, people passing

Meeting smile after smile

Very soon it will be X'mas day!

And on every street corner you'll hear

 

Silver bells (silver bells), silver bells (silver bells)

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling (ring-aling) hear them sing (hear them sing )

Soon it will be Christmas day
