AND THE BELLS THEY RANG
Love's Journey: From First Kiss to Sunset
Lyrics
Out behind the church
Reflecting on a location behind the church
First time that we kissed
Recalling the first romantic encounter
You said you’d be mine
Expressing commitment to a romantic relationship
And the bells they rang
Describing the sound of bells ringing
Oh the choir sang
Mentioning a choir singing
Promise in the air
Suggesting a promise or commitment in the atmosphere
Love is everywhere
Indicating the presence of love everywhere
We got our first place
Referring to getting a place together
You said I don’t mind
Partner expressing acceptance of a request
But could you close the blinds
Asking to close the blinds for privacy
And the bells they rang
Repeating the imagery of bells ringing
Oh the choir sang
Reiterating the presence of a singing choir
Promise in the air
Emphasizing a promise or commitment in the air
Love is everywhere
Reaffirming the ubiquity of love
Nine months and a day
Indicating a significant time period - nine months and a day
Little one was born
Announcing the birth of a child
Now we are a family
Stating the formation of a family
And the bells they rang
Repeating the imagery of bells ringing, suggesting another significant moment
Oh the choir sang
Reiterating the presence of a singing choir
Promise in the air
Emphasizing a promise or commitment in the air
Love is everywhere
Reaffirming the pervasiveness of love
Now we’re old and grey
Describing the stage of being old and grey
Looking back on life
Reflecting on life experiences
Time to say goodnight
Indicating the time to bid farewell or conclude
And the bells they rang
Repeating the imagery of bells ringing, suggesting a final significant moment
Oh the choir sang
Reiterating the presence of a singing choir
Promise in the air
Emphasizing a promise or commitment in the air
Love is everywhere
Reaffirming the enduring presence of love
