however you like to feel it
love, Bernice

recorded at Lois' farm in Bondhead, Ontario on December 12th, 2013
engineered & mixed by Philippe Melanson

lyrics

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 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 ring,
soon it will be christmas day
