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'd planned a little cottage in the valley
I even bought that 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 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
ย
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
ย
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
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
Those wedding bells will never ring for me
