Wedding Bells

(Claude Boone)



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 now for you and me

Down the aisle with someone else you're walking

Those wedding bells will never ring for me.



Now I'd planned a little cottage in the valley

And I even bought a little band of gold

I thought someday I'd place it on your finger

But now my future looks so dark and cold



Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel

That 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...
