Golden Oldies

Deacon Blue And Ricky Ross Miscellaneous Golden Bells Well the choirs were singing and the candles they were burning And the lantern girls and alter boys were crossed and cleaned And my baby and me watched the prayers go higher and higher As we sadly, slowly, surely took our leave We're crying now We we're crying then Hearing golden bells So we walked the long mile from the chapel gates And i felt her warm in my hand as the wind drew us faster We had no names or flowers in the churchyard No cards or pity just a childlike space in our hearts We're crying now We we're crying then Hearing golden bells Oh the light that shines on life And the living that can tell Oh the joy, when the gates we reach And ring those golden bells
