Church Bells
Church Bells
Do you recall the church bells ring?
When Sunday morning it would fall
Oh, the sweet joy that they would bring
Much pleasure from something so small
The steeple standing there so tall
For a small boy such a great thing
I remember standing in awe
Do you recall the church bells ring?
It's a dream to which I would cling
The man that pulled the rope and all
To look up and see the bell swing
When Sunday morning it would fall
With ritual I was enthralled
My footsteps were now full of spring
As nearer the church I would draw
Oh the sweet joy that they would bring
Sound filled the air, floated on wings
At 10 the old man didn't stall
The little choir began to sing
Much pleasure from something so small
I recall tracks thru the snowfall
Walking thru the creek in the spring
By the sound of bells I was drawn
To hear stories about the King
Do you recall?
