I got 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 dear I hope you're happy just the same      I planned a little cottage in the valley,   I even bought that little band of gold   I thought some day I'd place it on your finger,   But now the future looks so dark and cold      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   Those wedding bells with never ring for me      Darling, let's turn back the years   And go back to yesterday   Let's pretend that time has stopped   And I didn't go away      We had our love to make us happy   Love wasn't meant to bring us tears   Love like ours should never die   So, darling, let's turn back the years      I fancy that I see a bunch of roses   A blossom from and orange tree in your hair   While the organ plays "I Love You Truly,"   Just let me pretend that I am there      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   Those wedding bells with never ring for me   Those wedding bells with never ring for me
