WHEN DO THE BELLS RING FOR ME ?
(C. DeForest)

Tony Bennett - 1989
Joyce Breach - 1994
Mark Moore - 1998


I wonder when do the bells ring for me
When someone tugs a heartstring for me
When does it come the time
When does the poem rhyme
When do the songs they sing seem fine

To those who say "Wake up and feel life"
I say I'm ready, show me the way
Show me those arms that say
"Welcome to real life"
And I'll stay, I'll stay

How many partys and more can I run to
How many winter loves can there be
If there ???? ???? ????,
Forget it, I want more
I want someone to want more of me

Like making promises, Girl, in the daylight
The thing is here I am, where is she
When is it my turn
When is it my dance
When do the bells ring for me
