I swear the bells of every chapel
We're ringin' the day that I met you
From high in the trees
Birds were singin'
Singin' of you and me
From deep in the crowd, you were glowin'
You were glowin' without even knowin'
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
You're cryin', cryin', cryin'
I swear the bells in every chapel
We're ringin' the day that I met you
They were ringing so clear, but you couldn't hear
Your heart could never be mine

I swear the lilies of every valley
We're bloomin' the day that you touched me
When you took my hand
There, you told me, one day I would understand
But now I'm much older, and suddenly I see (I see)
Just what you were talkin' about
Still, 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
You're cryin', cryin', cryin'
I swear the bells in every chapel
We're ringin' the day that I met you
They were ringing so clear, but you couldn't hear
Your heart could never be mine
