Bells of Every Chapel

I swear the bells in 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 ain't so simple
No life it ain't so kind
You know life could lead you somewhere to be all alone
You're crying crying crying
I swear the bells in every chapel
Were ringing 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 in every valley
Were blooming the day that you touched me
When you took my hand well you told me
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
You were the one for me

But life ain't so simple
No life it ain't so kind
You know life could lead you somewhere to be all alone
You're crying crying crying
I swear the bells in every chapel
Were ringing the day that I met you
They were ringing so clear
But you couldn't hear
And your heart could never be mine

But life ain't so simple
No life it ain't so kind
You know life could lead you somewhere to be all alone
You're crying crying crying
Well I swear the bells in every chapel
They were ringing the day that I met you
They were ringing so clear
But you couldn't hear
And your heart could never be mine
