Stonewall Jackson - Wedding Bells lyrics

rate me

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
