ooh the bells are ringing out
what a sound
ooh the bells are ringing out
what a sound
and i’m in love
the joy of love
the coming of
jesus

never ever felt afraid
did you hold onto
did you make it thru
you
there’s so much doubt in every heart
for all our faults we carry on
jesus
jesus i ran away
i got so scared
i made mistakes
will i hold onto
will i make it thru
ooh the bells are ringing out
what a sound
(elgie stover, marvin gaye, anna gordy gaye, iris gordy)
I’ll never hear the bells if you leave me
I’ll never hear the bells
I’ll never hear the bells if you leave me
I’ll never hear the bells
Do you hear what i hear
Your lips are kissing mine
Can you hear the bells darling
Can you hear them when i’m kissing you
What do i have to do to make you feel the tingling too
Can you hear the bells darling
Can you hear them when i’m kissing you
Oh yeah
Oh, i hear the bells, ringing in my ear
Tell me do you love me, do you love me, do you love me, do you love me like i love you
Oh, it’s one thing that i want you to remember
If you ever leave me i believe i’ll go insane
And i’ll never hear the bells again
No, i’ll never hear the bells again
No, i’ll never hear the bells again
Dry your eyes
Wet your lips by kissing mine
I’ll never hear the bells if you leave me
I’ll never hear the bells
Darlin’, i’ll never hear the bells if you leave me
I’ll never hear the bells
When your lips are kissing mine
Do you hear the bells, honey
Do you hear them ringing?
When i’m kissing you–lay it on baby
Do you hear the bells?
What do i have to do? (what should i do?)
To make you feel (deeply into me)
Do you hear the bells, honey
Do you hear them ringing?
When i’m kissing you (i hear the bells)
Hear the bells (i hear the bells)
Hear them ringing and ringing
Oh, do you love me
(do you love me like i love you)
Like i, i…
True love and joy and faith
All my strength i give to you
My love is yours exclusively
To enjoy and raise as you want to
There is one thing that i want you to remember
If you should ever leave me
I believe i’ll go insane
Darling, i’ll never hear the bells
Never, ever
Never gonna hear the bells without ‘cha, baby

Hear the sledges with the bells

Silver bells
What a world of merriment
C d
Their melody foretells
C em a
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle
C em a
In the icy air of night
C em a
All the heavens seem to twinkle
C em a
With a crystalline delight
D bm
Keeping time, time, time
F#m a
With a sort of runic rhyme
D
From the tintinnabulation
C d
That so musically wells
D g d a7 d g d
From the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells
G a7 d
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells
Hear the mellow wedding bells
Golden bells
What a world of happiness
Their harmony foretells
Through the balmy air of night
How they ring out their delight
Through the dances and the yells
And the rapture that impels
How it swells
How it dwells
On the future
How it tells
From the swinging and the ringing of the molten golden bells
Of the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells
Of the rhyming and the chiming of the bells
Hear the loud alarum bells
Brazen bells
What a tale of terror now
Their turbulency tells
Much too horrified to speak
Oh, they can only shriek
For all the ears to know
How the danger ebbs and flows
Leaping higher, higher, higher
With a desperate desire
In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire
With the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells
With the clamor and the clanging of the bells
Hear the tolling of the bells
Iron bells
What a world of solemn thought their monody compels
For all the sound that floats
From the rust within our throats
And the people sit and groan
In their muffled monotone
And the tolling, tolling, tolling
Feels a glory in the rolling
From the throbbing and the sobbing
Of the melancholy bells
Oh, the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells
Oh, the moaning and the groaning of the bells.

And the actresses relate
To the actor who comes home late
After the plays have gone down
And the crowds have scattered around
Though the city lights and the streets
No ticket could be beat
For the beautiful show of shows
Ah, broadway only knows
The great white milky way
It had something to say
When he fell down on his knees
After soaring through the air
With nothing to hold him there
It was really not so cute
To play without a parachute
As he stood upon the ledge
Looking out, he thought he saw a brook
And he hollered, look, there are the bells
And he sang out, here come the bells
Here come the bells, here come the bells
Here come the bells
Here come the bells
Here come the bells
Here come the bells
Here come the bells
