Lyrics for The Bells And The Birds

Listen how the bells they ring in the morning What do they say to you, my love? Some hear a song and some hear a warning What do they say to you, my love? They say we gotta get a move along Farther down the line Can't be wasting our time Listen how the birds sing in the evening What do they say to you, my love? Are they rejoicing, or are they grieving? What do they say to you, my love? They tell me that life is sweet enough To cheer us on our way Just enough for today Listen how the bells they ring in the morning What do they say to you, my love? Listen how the bells they ring in the morning What do they say to you, my love? What do they say to you, my love?
