Music of the Season – Silver Bells

Greetings Dear Reader,

I write often about the things that are very important to me at Christmas time.  This song is one of the most important non-Christian songs there is for me.  You see the silver bells that we hear are what matters most about this song.

Often now it is in the parking lot that I first hear them.  It is something I listen for with intent.  The sound of the small bell ringing carries so well through the air.  I immediately check to see if I have something to give.

The Salvation Army does so much for so many.  They care for those in need by feeding and sheltering them.  The Silver Bells one hears is the sound of them reminding us that there are those in need.  I have so much and helping them during the Christmas season is a great joy for me.  I even found my own real silver bell to use when I go ringing this year.

Silver Bells – Jay Livingston and Jay 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 ev'ry street corner you'll hear

Silver bells silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring a ling hear them sing

Soon it will be Christmas day

Hear the snow crunch

See the kids bunch

This is Santa's big scene

And above all this bustle you'll hear

Strings of street lights

Even stop lights

Blink a bright red and green

As the shoppers rush home with their treasures

Silver bells, silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them sing

Soon it will be Christmas day

Wishing you joy in the journey,
