Written by Jay Livingston and 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 ev'ry 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 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 hear:
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day.
Soon it will be Christmas day.Like finding a match when the lights go out
Like finding a raft when the ship's going down
That's how it was when You rescued my heart
You covered the dark with the light of Your love
It's so much more than anything I've felt before
Chorus:
It's unbelievable all the things that You do
It's unexplainable how Your love pulls me through
And I can't question the one thing I've found to be true
It's undeniably You
Like finding a shelter in the pouring rain
Like finding your way when you're lost in a maze
That's how it was when You came in my life
I'll always be safe with You here by my side
It's so much more than anything I've ever felt before
Chorus
When You reached out to me
You gave me the strength to hold on again
Oh, Your everything, everything
It's all I need this love that You've given me
