Rankins - Bells lyrics

(Jimmy Rankin)

If only you would love me

Bells would ring

And voices silent for a thousand years

Suddenly could sing

And the heart of a bandit

Would surely vanish without a clue

Then the world would go on turning

My darling, if only you

If only you would notice

The grass would grow again

And all the leaves that have fallen

Would blow away in the wind

And the sun would shine forever

All the flowers would blossom and bloom

And then I could face the morning

My darling, if only you

If the war we've been living

Would cease to be, let us live again

If the chains that have held us

Would break away and set us free

Then my heart like an eagle

Would fly away into the blue

Close the book, quietly disappear

My darling, if only you

Bells
