Merle Haggard

(Jay Livingston - Ray Evans)
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 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 crush see the kids bunch
This is Santa's big day and above all the bustle you hear.
Silver bells silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day.
Silver bells silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day...
