CHRISTMAS BELLS
(Harry Filler / Leonard Rosen)


Patti Page - 1951





The Christmas bells are ringing
The holly's at the windowpane
I hear the children singing
It's Christmas again

The fireplace is glowing
The stocking's on the Christmas tree
Then suddenly it's snowing
That's Christmas to me

Chimes ring in the steeple
Music fills the air
Crowds of smiling people
Greet you everywhere

When I awake at seven
I see you and the angels sing
You are my gift of heaven
When Christmas bells ring

The Christmas bells are ringing
The holly's at the windowpane
I hear the children singing
It's Christmas again

The fireplace is glowing
The stocking's on the Christmas tree
Then suddenly it's snowing
That's Christmas to me

Chimes ring in the steeple
Music fills the air
Crowds of smiling people
Greet you everywhere

When I awake at seven
I see you and the angels sing
You are my gift of heaven
When Christmas bells ring
