Wedding Bells/let's Turn Back The Years Lyrics - John Prine

I got the invitation that you sent me, 

You wanted me to see you change your name 

I couldn't stand to see you wed another 

But dear I hope you're happy just the same 

I planned a little cottage in the valley, 

I even bought that little band of gold 

I thought some day I'd place it on your finger, 

But now the future looks so dark and cold 

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel 

That should be ringing now for you and me 

Down the aisle with someone else you're walking 

Those wedding bells with never ring for me

Darling, let's turn back the years 

And go back to yesterday 

Let's pretend that time has stopped 

And I didn't go away 

We had our love to make us happy 

Love wasn't meant to bring us tears 

Love like ours should never die 

So, darling, let's turn back the years 

I fancy that I see a bunch of roses 

A blossom from and orange tree in your hair 

While the organ plays "I Love You Truly," 

Just let me pretend that I am there

Those wedding bells with never ring for me 

Those wedding bells with never ring for me
