Susan James - Mission Bells lyrics

rate me

When our final days have come and gone

Will you still remember me?

will the sorrow climb like silver clouds?

that rise up from the sea.

Rain falls on the hills of Santa Barbara

marching with the ghost of San Jose

Let the wind carry our sad goodbyes,

across the burning desert sand.

And return them as the songs of lovers,

in an old musician hand.

Play them when a promise has been broken

Play them when you're filled with happiness

Play them when you're crying in some cafe

Play them like your life is just been blessed.

Sing them when the rays of love surround you,

remember when a good love had to end

sing them on the steps of a new beginning

like the day that our wedding was at hand

We sang come on down to the sound of the mission bells

Come on down to the sound of the mission bells

Come on down to the sound of the mission bells

Come on down to the sound of the mission bells
