I Can Hear the Bells
I can hear the bells
Well, don't you hear 'em chime?
Can't you feel my heartbeat
Keeping perfect time?
And all because he touched me
He looked at me and stared
Yes, he bumped me
My heart was unprepared
When he tapped me
And knocked me off my feet
One little touch
Now my life's complete
'Cause when he nudged me
Love put me in a fix
Yes, it hit me
Just like a ton of bricks
Yes, my heart burst
Now I know what life's about
One little touch
And love's knocked me out
And I can hear the bells
My head is spinning
I can hear the bells
Something's beginning
Everybody says
That a girl who looks like me
Can't win his love
Well, just wait and see
'Cause I can hear the bells
Just hear them chiming
I can hear the bells
My temperature's climbing
I can't contain my joy
'Cause I finally found the boy
I've been missing
Listen, I can hear the bells
Round one
He'll ask me on a date
And then round two
I'll primp but won't be late
Because round three's
When we kiss inside his car
Won't go all the way
But I'll go pretty far
Round four
He'll ask me for my hand
And then round five
We'll book the wedding band
So by round six
Amber, much to your surprise
This heavyweight champion
Takes the prize
And I can hear the bells
My ears are ringing
I can hear the bells
The bridesmaids are singing
Everybody says
That a guy who's such a gem
Won't look my way
Well, the laugh's on them
'Cause I can hear the bells
My father will smile
I can hear the bells
As he walks me down the aisle
My mother starts to cry
But I can't see 'cause Link and I
Are French kissing
Listen, I can hear the bells
I can hear the bells
My head is reeling
I can hear the bells
I can't stop the pealing
Everybody warns
That he won't like what he'll see
But I know that he'll look
Inside of me, yeah
I can hear the bells
Today's just the start 'cause
I can hear the bells
And 'til death do us part
And even when we die
We'll look down from up above
Remembering the night
That we two fell in love
We both will shed a tear
And he'll whisper
As we're reminiscing
Listen, I can hear the bells
(We can hear the bells)
I can hear the bells
(We can hear the bells)
I can hear the bells
Well, don't you hear 'em chime?
Can't you feel my heartbeat
Keeping perfect time?
