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 dear I hope you're happy just the same
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
Ever since the day you set me free
I new someday that you would wed another
Those wedding bells will never ring for me
[ steel ]
I planned a little cottage in the valley
I even bought a little band of gold
Bout someday I'll place it on your finger
But now the future looks so dark and cold
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
Ever since the day you set me free
Down the aisle with someone else you're walking
Those wedding bells will never ring for me
