Burl Ives - Silver Bells Lyrics






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

Strings of streetlights, even stoplights
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'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

    Burl Ives was an extremely talented man. A wonderful singer and folk musician. He also won an Academy Award for best supporting actor. Most of all, I am told by someone who met him, he was a kind and lovely, unpretentious person.

    M.... K....

    In the 70s I was a broadcast engineer. I was a member of the crew that recorded one of his concerts. He truly was kind and unpretentious. It was a pleasure to work on one of his shows. RIP Mr. Ives and thank you for all the joy you have given us.

    Wonderful man. there will never be another like him.

  24. V.... B....

    His voice was so unique and distinctive. love by so many on records , radio, tv, for generations . 

    V.... B....

    Before television sitting at the kitchen table where the electric plug was accessible,  Burl Ives, Gene Autry, Jimmy Durante, Kate Smith  and others came to use with voices so awesome and distinct  that once you heard them, you knew before announcer said their names after they sang . But Burl Ives  read and made up stories  as well as singing ; so special he was .

  25. K.... R....

    I miss this man so much....because he was iconic America....he was my childhood

  26. c.... ....
