Lyrics

  1. Can’t you hear those church bells ringing
    For the blushing bride and groom?
    Rice and presents folks are bringing
    Roses lend their sweet perfume
    For the wedding someone’s baking possum
    In your hair just place an orange blossom
    Parson’s waiting, choir is singing
    For the blushing bride and groom

Chorus
Come along, come along, my sun kissed baby
Come along, come along, you luscious lady
In the spring when love is king
Church bells know just when to ring
That’s the ring that makes the angels sing:
“Halleluiah, Honey!”
Down the aisle with a smile we’ll never falter
Till we stand hand in hand beside the alter
Our relations will be there
Pink carnations ev’rywhere
Showered on the blushing bride and groom

2. Lots of fun in honeymooning
For the blushing bride and groom
Cupid’s there to watch you spooning
Always ’round when love’s a-bloom
As along the road of love we travel
What a story we can both unravel
Hearts ballooning, birds a-crooning
For the blushing bride and groom
