1. I have the invi-tation that you sent me.
2. I planned a little cottage in the valley
3. I fancy that I see a bunch of roses
You wanted me to see you change your name.
I even bought a little band of gold.
A blossom from an orange tree in your hair.
I couldn't stand to see you wed a-nother.
I thought some day I'd place it on your finger.
While the organ plays "I Love You Truly,"
But, dear, I hope you're happy just the same.
But now the future looks so dark and cold.
Please let me pretend that I am there.
Wedding Bells are ringing in the chapel
Wedding Bells are ringing in the chapel
Wedding Bells are ringing in the chapel
That should be ringing now for you and me.
I hear the children laughing now with glee.
Ever since the day you set me free.
Down the aisle with someone else you're walkin'.
At home alone I hang my head in sorrow.
I knew someday that you would wed a-nother.
Those Wedding Bells will never ring for me.
For Wedding Bells will never ring for me.
But Wedding Bells will never ring for me.
