Hark how the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say:
"Throw cares away
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old,
Meek and the bold"

Ding, ding, ding, dong
That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From everywhere
Filling the air

Oh, how they pound
Raising the sound
O'er hill and dale
Telling their tale
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
On, on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To every home

Hark how the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say:
"Throw cares away
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old,
Meek and the bold"

Ding, ding, ding, dong
That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling [voices fade]

The bells of Christmas
Are ringing in the night
The children string their lights upon the tree
The bells of Christmas
They sing to me tonight
Bring back thoughts of you and me

Central Park
Sliding 'round in the snow
And then after dark
Feeling the fire's burning glow
The bells of Christmas
They ring of what could be
For the bells of Christmas
They ring for you and me

Sunday walks
Watching ships in the bay
Midnight talks
We vow we'd never let love slip away

The bells of Christmas
They ring of what could be
For the bells of Christmas
The bells of Christmas
The bells of Christmas
They ring for you and me
