You Sent Me Silver Bells – Lesley Gore

On that day when you said
I will have to go away
They’re calling me
Suddenly every joy
Turn to pain inside of me
Hurting me

Couldn’t I the feeling deep inside
I just broke down and cry
And so you promised me
Faithfully something I sing
So you sent me silver bells
Yesterday from a place
Faraway
Silver bells

The letter said
Save these bell keep
Them for our wedding day
Silver bells, but today
The mail man came once more
And as I close the door
I heard the sound of
The bells bright and clear
Telling me that
You were near

As I read we regret
I just couldn’t leave the rest
I could tell the silver bells
That I heard were the ones
You sent to me, silver bells
These silver bells, these silver bells
These silver bells
You sent me silver bells
