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 that you're happy just the same.
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
They should be ringing now for you and me
But down the aisle with someone else you're walking
Those wedding bells will never ring for me.
--- Instrumental ---
I fancy when I see a bunch of roses
A blossom from an orange tree in your hair
And while the organ plays I'll love you truly
Please let me just pretend that I am there.
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
They should be ringing now for you and me
But 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...
