Wedding Bells Lyrics - Hank Snow

I have the invitation that you sent me 

You wanted me to see you change your name 

I couldn't stand to see you wed another 

But I hope you're happy just the same 

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel 

That should be ringing now for you and me 

Down the aisle with someone else you're walking 

So wedding bells will never ring for me 

[ fiddle ] 

I planned a little cottage in the valley 

I even bought a little band of gold 

I thought someday I'll place it on your finger 

But now the future looks so dark and cold 

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel 

I hear the children laughing now with plea 

And all alone I hang my head in sorrow 

Those wedding bells will never ring for me 

[ steel ] 

I fancy that I see a bunch of roses 

A blossom from an orange tree in your hair 

While the organ plays I'll love you truly 

Just let me pretend that I am there 

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel 

Ever since the day you set me free 

I knew some day that you would wed another 

But wedding bells will never ring for me
