victory bells

i know a girl and when she smiles
i can hear music playing
a heartfelt little
melody of joy

the last thing that i said to her
was would she please come back
to this kind, yet
brokenhearted boy.

so come back, come back
i'm right here waiting for you
come back, come back
i'm right here dying for you
to come back, come back to me.

now i smile when i see her
in the hopes that i can hear it
whenever she just might
return my gaze

but everybody knows that
once something beautiful has died
never again will it see
the light of day.

victory bells will be ringing when
i hear that song again.
wedding bells will be singing when
beside you i will stand.

so come back, come back
i'm right here waiting for you
come back, come back
i'm right here dying for you
to come back, come back to me.
