Lyrics
One Bell Rings
Written by Mike Franks and Jeff Owens
Performed by Catherine Wilson-Smith
You were here when I left
and that's been for some time
and we were close, more than most
like no other friend of mine
Now you were there each time I fell
and you were there if I did well
One bell rings at the end of the line
mem'ries cling to the back of my mind
a dirt road winds thru the brush and the pine
to an old white church; just said "WELCOME" on the sign
One bell rings and life goes on
life goes on
We would talk for days on end
of our dreams and of regrets
and step by step; piece by piece
weave a fabric of fine threads
When they walked out you rushed in
no matter where no matter when
One bell rings at the end of the line
mem'ries cling to the back of my mind
an orange glow cast by the setting sun
just to let you know that the day is done
One bell rings and life goes on
life goes on
I walk down the hill in a gentle breeze
and now I stand beside this old oak tree
and I find your place, well that's why I came
so I could lay this rose beside your name
and I hear one bell ring - just one bell ring
and life goes on
life goes on
One bell rings at the end of the line
mem'ries cling to the back of my mind
you'll never know so don't ask why
that I re-fuse to say good-bye
One bell rings and life goes on
life goes on
You'll never know, You'll never know
that life goes on
You'll never know, I miss you so....
ooh ooh ooh...
