When the Angelus is Ringing (1)
- Love time, love time, can't you understand when it is love time?
- Birds sing, bells ring, love just seems to ring with ev'ry chime,
- Ding dong, dong ding, love's messages they bring.
When the Angelus is Ringing (2)
- When the angelus is ringing in the belfry on the hill,
- And the whip-poor-will is singing in the night when all is still,
- I am waiting for the time when I can come to you and sing love's sweet song,
- While the silv'ry bells peal out their dong, ding, dong.
- Down the road of love we'll wander, 'mid the violets perfume,
- To the little cottage yonder, where we'll spend our honeymoon;
- And as we go through life from year to year,
- Cares and worries disappear, when the angelus is ringing, dear.
When the Angelus is Ringing (3)
- Two hearts, true hearts, all the world is full of loving sweethearts,
- I'll bring the ring, to the pealing of each silv'ry chime,
- Ding, dong, dong ding, all nature seems in rhyme.
