Slide 4
The church bells ring a joyous peal, 'tis some one's wedding day
Slide 5
As salt tears to his old eyes steal, we hear him softly say
Slide 6
As I stand by the old church door, I can picture the days of yore
Slide 7
A beautiful bride nestles close to my side, while the bells tell of joys in store
Slide 8
At the altar again I stand, with the one I may see no more
Slide 9
In life's springtime he sailed away, and left a loving bride
Slide 10
For years, and years, ill-luck was ever turning fortune's tide
Slide 11
With hard-earned wealth he sails the foam, but no sweet wife is near
Slide 12
And empty is the dear old home, that's why these words we hear
Slide 13
As I stand by the old church door, I can picture the days of yore
Slide 14
Besides the church he lingers, till the secret journey ends
Slide 15
Besides the door a mossy mound, his look of anguish meets
Slide 16
His long lost bride at last he's found, and sadly he repeats
Slide 17
As I stand by the old church door, I can picture the days of yore
Slide 18
Chorus
