lyrics

Took a walk down to the school,
Kids were kicking soccer balls,
One kid made a shot on goal,
School bells rang and that was all.

Took a walk down to the church,
To join the other people there,
People in a lifelong search,
The bells rang as a call to prayer.

Chorus:
Bells ring loud and clear,
Down into the valley for everyone to hear,
Bells ring loud and strong,
Tell ‘em summer’s coming,
Tell ‘em summer’s coming,
And winter soon be gone.

Took a walk in an open field,
Heralding the dawn of spring,
To the long grass I would steal,
In the breeze the bluebells seemed to ring.

Chorus

In the meadow damp and green,
Cows and sheep graze placidly,
Birds are tuning in the trees,
Cattle bells join in the melody.

Chorus

And when the bells ring for my death,
Don’t let them ring sullenly,
Let them sing the depth and breadth,
Of a life lived most fully.

Chorus:
Bells ring loud and clear,
Down into the valley for everyone to hear,
Bells ring loud and strong,
Tell ‘em summer’s coming,
Tell ‘em summer’s coming,
Tell ‘em summer’s coming,
Tell ‘em summer’s coming,

And winter soon be gone.
