Bells Lyrics - Singles - Rankins

(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
