LITTLE BELL
(Anita Kerr / Jan Baker)
Anita Kerr Singers - 1976
(Tinkling bell)
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-ooo-doo-doo-doo
It was just a little bell
No one ever bothered to notice it resting there
It was just a little bell
Sittin' on the table at the foot of the stair
All day long people passed it by
Year after year unseen
And each night the bell would cry
With loneliness in its beat
(Tinkling bell)
It was just a little bell
But the bell had dreams like dreams of people
It was just a little bell
Wishin' to be as big as the bell in the steeple
Time passed by, the years they flew
The little bell's life was through
And while the dream never came true
The little bell knew God loved it too
The little bell knew God loved it too
(Tinkling bell)
