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
