this church had no steeple
Just four walls and the roof overhead

sheltered the humble people

But the money was short cause
the times were bad
Bb

They had to get along on what they had
Just good simple people

praying for a steeple
C
About this time when spring was near a man

Made their plans for the bell_ s to ring they
C
F
would wed on the first of spring
So this man of wealth and his true love

dear named the wedding hours
They would wed in the little church

the one that had no towers

But he was the kind and generous man

he told his true love of his plan
How to build a steeple for

these good people

Yes they'll have their steeple
F
the bells there will ring
C
They'll ring for our wedding

on the first day of spring

But they say death comes like a thief and

One week before the wed_ ding day he

learned his love has passed away
in spite of his grief and broken heart

can hear the bells in heaven

louder when springtime is nigh
