Lyrics
Wedding bells are singing, love
They sound for you and me
Listen to the merry wedding bells
Soon we will be happy, happy as can be
Listen to the merry wedding bells
Happiness awaits thee in a home beyond the sea
Thither let us hasten, love thither let us flee
Wander o’er the mountain
O’er the woodland and the lea
Listen to the merry, merry, wedding bells
Merrily the bells are loudly ringing
Cheerily the birds are gaily singing
Merrily a greeting to us bringing
Listen to the merry wedding bells
