I think back to the days of yore To when the church bells rang Back to the distant days To the time that my soul sang It seems that I was younger then Though it wasn't long ago That we lived and loved so much Time goes by fast, you know I still see it in my mind I hear the church bells ring I see you there, still loving me To the tune that my soul sings What a tune my soul did sing! It was such a beautiful song That all the angels in Heaven above Seemed to sing along Oh, how the bells did ring! Oh, how my soul did sing! But love is a cruel thing, you see And it's done it's work on me Time has rusted the old church bells So they no longer ring Dying love destroyed my heart So it no longer sings I could never forget the day You left my life forever My soul would never sing again And the bells would rust together But alas, I still wait for the day That the bells will ring, as before I still wait for the one to teach My soul to sing once more < !signature--> "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde "The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief" -Shakespea [This message has been edited by LoveBug (edited 08-30-2000).] |

But alas, I still wait for the day That the bells will ring, as before I still wait for the one to teach My soul to sing once more -- Such hope here, my friend. I loved the idea of the churchbells. Wonderful work, as always!  *Krista Knutson* "Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart." -Confucious |
