"Bells Of Every Chapel" lyrics

"Bells Of Every Chapel"
(feat. Billy Strings)

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 it ain't so simple
No life it ain't so kind
You know life could lead you somewhere, 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
There 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 it ain't so simple
No life it ain't so kind
You know life could lead you somewhere, be all alone
And 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 it ain't so simple
No life it ain't so kind
You know life could lead you somewhere, be all alone
And you're crying, crying, crying
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
