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're ringing in the chapel
|
That should be ringing now for you and me
|
And down the aisle with someone else you're walking
|
Those wedding bells will never ring for me
|
|
I planned a little cottage in the valley
|
I even bought a little band of gold
|
I thought someday I'd place it on your finger
|
But now the future looks so dark and cold
|
|
Wedding bells're ringing in the chapel
|
I can hear the children laughing now with glee
|
I walk alone and hang 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
|
While the organ plays I'll love you truly
|
Please let me pretend that I was there
|
|
Wedding bells're ringing in the chapel
|
Ever since the day you set me free
|
I knew someday that you would wed another
|
But the wedding bells will never ring for me
|
