Lyrics

  1. I’ve heard about your wedding
    I felt that it had to be
    Tho’ it’s a day I’m dreading
    I’ll be there at the church to see

Chorus:
I won’t tell a soul I love you
I won’t even mention your name
For I know I’ve been a fool, dear
And I’ve only myself to blame
I won’t tell a soul I miss you
Though memories will always remain
Of you and the night you whispered
“I can’t ever see you again”
I suppose I should just wish you luck
But I haven’t the heart to try
Just for a while my breath will be taken
In trying to say goodbye
So think of me sometimes, darling
Remember, when we’re far apart
I won’t tell a soul I love you
Though I’m left with a broken heart

  1. The bells will ring out for you
    All joy for your wedding day
    And tho’ I still adore you
    I won’t have a word to say
