Wedding Bells / Let's Turn Back the Years |
I got 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 |
I planned a little cottage in the valley |
I even bought that 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 |
They 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 |
Darling, let’s turn back the years |
And go back to yesterday |
Let’s pretend that time has stopped |
And I didn’t go away |
We had our love to make us happy |
Love wasn’t meant to bring us tears |
Love like ours should never die |
So, darling, let’s turn back the years |
I fancy that I see a bunch of roses |
A blossom from an orange tree in your hair |
While the organ plays «I Love You Truly» |
Just let me pretend that I am there |
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel |
They 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 |
Those wedding bells will never ring for me |
