Deanna Durbin (live 1930s)

The bells of St. Mary's
At sweet even tide
Shall call me beloved
To come to your side.

And out in the valley
In sound of the sea
I know you'll be waiting
Yes, waiting for me.

The bells of St. Mary's
Ah, hear they are calling
The young loves, the true loves
Who come from the sea.

And so my beloved
When red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring out
Ring out for you and me.

Chorus

The bells of St. Mary's
Ah! hear they are calling
The young loves, the true loves
Who come from the sea.

And so my beloved
When red leaves are falling

Chorus and Durbin

The love bells shall ring out
Ring out for you and me.

THE BELLS OF ST. MARY'S
From the film "The Bells Of St. Mary's" (1945)
The bells of St. Mary's
Ah! hear they are calling
The young loves, the true loves
Who come from the sea

And so, my beloved
When red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring out
Ring out for you and me

The bells of St. Mary's
At sweet even time
Shall call me, beloved
To come to your side

And out in the valley
In sound of the sea
I know you'll be waiting
Yes, waiting for me

At the porch of St. Mary's
I'll wait there for you
In your soft wedding dress
With its ribbons of blue

In the church of St. Mary's
Sweet voices shall sing
For you and me, dearest
The wedding bells ring

THE BELLS OF ST. MARY'S
As recorded by Perry Como:


(Ring out, ring out)
(Ring out sweet bells)

The bells of St. Mary's
Ah! here they are calling
The young loves, the true loves
Who come from the sea

And so my beloved
When red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring out, ring out
For you and me

(The bells of St. Mary's)
(That sweet eventide)
(Shall call me beloved)
(To come to your side)

And out in the valley
In sound of the sea
I know you'll be waiting
Just waiting for me

(Just waiting, just waiting)
(Just waiting for me)

The bells of St. Mary's
Ah! here they are calling
The young loves (The young loves)
The true loves (The true loves)
Who come from the sea

And so my beloved
When red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring out, ring out
For you and me
