Where the Church-Bells Still Ring

Ooh hoo hoo Ooh-hoo-hoo hoo hoo Ooh hoo hoo hoo-hoo hoo hoo hoo My countryside, you gave me everything you had The sweet perfume of roses and the smell of baking bread The black-tailed swallow on the wing and the village school so old Your summer days were blazing hot and your winters icy cold Refrain: Where the church-bells still ring And the nightingales sing Where we spent our youth so long ago Where we played in the park And we kissed in the dark I will always stay here where I belong Where the church-bells still ring And the nightingales sing I will always be here even dead and gone How I recall, our childhood passed away Messin' around the backyard Hide and seek we used to play My pockets full of jellybeans That felt like bars of gold Your summer days were blazing hot And your winters icy cold Refrain Where the church-bells still ring And the nightingales sing I will always be here even dead and gone Where the church-bells still ring And the nightingales sing Where we spent our youth so long ago Where we played in the park Where we kissed in the dark I will always stay here where I belong Where the church-bells still ring And the nightingales sing I will always be here even dead and gone
