I have the invitation that you sent me you wanted me to see you change your name
|
I couldn't stand to see you wed another but dear I hope you're happy just the same
|
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel that should be ringing now for you and me
|
Down the aisle with someone else you're walking
|
Those wedding bells will never ring for me
|
[ steel ]
|
I planned a little cottage in the valley I even brought a little band of gold
|
I thought someday I'll place it on your finger
|
But now the future looks so dark and cold
|
I fancy that I see a bunch of roses a blossom from an orange tree in your hair
|
And while the organ plays I'll love you truly please let me pretend that I am there
|
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel ever since the day you set me free
|
I knew someday that you would wed another but wedding bells will never ring
|
