Artist/Band: Hank Snow
Lyrics for Song: Wedding Bells
Lyrics for Album: The Thesaurus Transcriptions [Bear Family (Germany [1991]



(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 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

So wedding bells will never ring for me.



--- Instrumental ---



I planned a little cottage in the valley

I even bought a little band of gold

I thought someday I'll place it on your finger

But now the future looks so dark and cold.



Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel

I hear the children laughing now with plea

And all alone I hang my head in sorrow

Those wedding bells will never ring for me.



--- Instrumental ---



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

Just let me pretend that I am there.



Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel

Ever since the day you set me free

I knew some day that you would wed another

But wedding bells will never ring for me...
