I swear the bells of every chapel were ringing the day that I met you

From high in the trees, birds were singing

Singing of you and me

From deep in the crowd, you were glowing

You were glowing without even knowing

From way over here, it looked crystal clear

You were the one for me

But life it ain't so simple

No life it ain't so kind

You know life could lead you somewhere, to be all alone

And you're cryin, cryin, cryin

I swear the bells of every chapel were ringing the day that I met you

They were ringing so clear that you couldn't hear

That your heart could never be mine

I swear the lillies in every valley were bloomin the day that you touched me

When you took my hand, then you told me

That one day I would understand

But now I'm much older and suddenly I see just what you were talking about

Still from way over here, it looked crystal clear

That you were the one for me

But life it ain't so simple

No life it ain't so kind

You know life could lead you somewhere, to be all alone

And you're cryin, cryin, cryin

I swear the bells of every chapel were ringing the day that I met you

They were ringing so clear that you couldn't hear

That your heart could never be mine

But life it ain't so simple

No life it ain't so kind

You know life could lead you somewhere, to be all alone

And you're cryin, cryin, cryin

I swear the bells of every chapel were ringing the day that I met you

They were ringing so clear that you couldn't hear

That your heart could never be mine
