The bells of St. Mary's Ah! hear they are calling The young loves, the true loves Who come from the sea And so, my beloved When red leaves are falling The love bells shall ring out Ring out for you and me The bells of St. Mary's At sweet even time Shall call me, beloved To come to your side And out in the valley In sound of the sea I know you'll be waiting Yes, waiting for me At the porch of St. Mary's I'll wait there for you In your soft wedding dress With its ribbons of blue In the church of St. Mary's Sweet voices shall sing For you and me, dearest The wedding bells ring
