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...
