Intro:

I Cgot the inviGtation that you Csent me,
You Cwanted me to Gsee you change your Cname
I Fcouldn't stand to see you wed aCnother

I Cplanned a little Gcottage in the Cvalley,
I Ceven bought that Glittle band of Cgold
I Fthought some day I'd place it on your Cfinger,
But Gnow the future looks so dark and Ccold
FWedding bells are ringing in the Cchapel
That Gshould be ringing now for you and Cme
FDown the aisle with someone else you're Cwalking
Those Gwedding bells will never ring for CmeD  G  
GDarling lets turn back the years
And go back to yesterDday
Lets pretend that time has stopped
And I didn't go aGway
GWe had our love to make us happy
Love wasn't meant to bring us Dtears
Love like ours should never die
So darling let's turn back the GyearsC  
I Cfancy that I Gsee a bunch of Croses
A Cblossom from an Gorange tree in your Chair
FWhile the organ plays "I Love You CTruly,"
Just Glet me pretend that I am Cthere
FWedding bells are ringing in the Cchapel
That Gshould be ringing now for you and Cme
FDown the aisle with someone else you're Cwalking
Those Gwedding bells will never ring for Cme
Those Gwedding bells will never ring for Cme
