Snowflakes drift down, blanketing the town,
Homes all aglow, with cheer all around.
It's that time of year when magic is near,
The joy bells are ringing tonight!
Shoppers all rush, laughing as they go,
Bundled up tight, faces all aglow.
Every street's alive, holiday's arrived,
The joy bells are ringing so bright!
The joy bells are ringing, oh, can't you hear?
A melody that brings us cheer.
They chime in the air, a tune so rare,
The joy bells are ringing everywhere!
Kids play in snow, laughter fills the air,
Bright-colored lights are strung everywhere.
There's a friendly wave from neighbors who say,
"Merry Christmas, it's a wonderful day!"
People all sing by the firelight's glow,
Humming along to songs we all know.
There's a harmony that binds you and me,
The joy bells are ringing tonight!
The joy bells are ringing, oh, can't you hear?
A melody that brings us cheer.
They chime in the air, a tune so rare,
The joy bells are ringing everywhere!
Oh, how sweet those bells that chime,
Bringing us back to a simpler time.
When love was true, and skies were clear,
And holiday dreams were near.
The joy bells are ringing, oh, can't you hear?
A melody that brings us cheer.
They chime in the air, a tune so rare,
The joy bells are ringing,
Yes, the joy bells are ringing,
Tonight and every year!
