As recorded by THE 5TH DIMENSION (lead vocal: MARILYN McCOO):


Bill, I love you so, I always will
I look at you and see the passion eyes of May (Eyes of May)
Oh, but am I ever gonna see my Wedding Day (Wedding Day)

I was on your side, Bill, when you were losin' (When you were losin')
I'd never scheme or lie, Bill, there's been no foolin' (There's been no foolin')
But kisses and love won't carry me 'til you marry me, Bill

I love you so, I always will
And in your voice I hear a choir of carousels (Carousels)
Ah, but am I ever gonna hear my wedding bells (Wedding bells)

I was the one who came runnin' when you were lonely (When you were lonely)
I haven't lived one day not lovin' you only (Lovin' you only)
But kisses and love won't carry me 'til you marry me Bill

I love you so, I always will
And though devotion rules my heart, I take no bows (Take no bows)
Ah, but Bill you're never gonna take those wedding vows (Wedding vows)

Come on Bill (Come on, Bill), oh, come on Bill (Come on Bill)
Come on and marry me, Bill
I got the wedding bell blues
Please marry me, Bill
I got the wedding bell blues
Wedding bell blues
Ah, yeah, marry me, Bill
I got the wedding ............ FADE
