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 out for you and me
|
Down the aisle with someone else you're walking
|
Those wedding bell will never ring for me
|
|
I planned a little cottage in the valley
|
I even bought a little band of gold
|
I thought some day I'd place it on your finger
|
But now the future looks so dark and cold
|
|
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
|
I hear the children laughing out with glee
|
At home alone I bound my head in sorrow
|
Those wedding bells will never ring for me
|
|
I fancy that I see a bunch of roses
|
A blossom from an orange tree in your hair
|
And while the organ plays I 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 for me
|
