The bells of Avignon lyrics

the bells of Avignon

say "it won't be very long

till I'm back where I belong"

I'm on my way

it's a long and dusty road

and my suitcase weighs a load

oh you bells of Avignon

please let me stay

will he remember me

after all this time

or will I just be

misty in his mind

will it be same to meet again

the boy I left behind

and will he be surprised

to see the way I've grown

how I've changed my hair

since I've been alone

well, I'll soon find out

'cause now I'm nearly there

I'm nearly home

the bells of Avignon

say "it won't be very long

till I'm back where I belong"

I'm on my way

it's a long and dusty road

and my suitcase weighs a load

oh you bells of Avignon

please let me stay

will he remember still

the way we used to play

up upon the hill

till the end of day

well I'll soon find out

'cause now I'm nearly home

and there I'll stay

the bells of Avignon

say "it won't be very long

till I'm back where I belong"

I'm on my way

it's a long and dusty road

and my suitcase weighs a load

oh you bells of Avignon

please let me stay

oh you bells of Avignon

please let me stay
