… Bill
I love you so, I always will
I look at you and see the passion eyes of May (eyes of May)
Oh, but am I ever gonna see my wedding day? (Wedding day)
I was on your side Bill when you were losin (when you were losin)
Id never scheme or lie Bill, theres been no fooling (theres been no fooling)
But kisses and love wont carry me til you marry me, Bill

… I love you so, I always will
And in your voice I hear a choir of carousels (carousels)
Oh, but am I ever gonna hear my wedding bells? (Wedding bells)
I was the one who came running when you were lonely (when you were lonely)
I havent lived one day not loving you only (loving you only)
But kisses and love wont carry me til you marry me Bill
I love you so, I always will
And though devotion rules my heart, I take no vows (take no vows)

… Oh, but Bill, youre never gonna take those wedding vows (wedding vows)
Oh, come on, Bill (come on, Bill)
Oh, come on, Bill (come on, Bill)
Come on and marry me, Bill
I got the wedding bell blues
Please, marry me, Bill

… I got the wedding bell blues (blues)
Wedding bell blues (blues, blues)
Yeah, yeah, marry me, Bill (blues)
I got the wedding bell blues
