Though I watched you with the smile as you started walk the aisle
I was list'ning to the bells that broke my heart
They were ringing out with joy of a lucky girl and boy
But for me they were the bells that broke my heart

For they told me I have lost you now forever
And I hoped and prayed we'd made just one more start
And I saw I might have been from the outside looking in
As I listen to the bells that broke my heart
[ guitar ]
For I knew that I could never love another
And they told me that forever we must part
Still my eyes are filled with tears and I know down through the years
I'll be list'ning to the bells that broke my heart
