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
