SONG: I Can Hear The Bells
ARTIST: Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman
From the musical, Hairspray
[Tracy]
I can hear the bells
Well, don tcha hear them chime?
Can t cha feel my heartbeat keeping perfect time?
And all because he...
Touched me
He looked at me and stared, yes he
Bumped me
My heart was unprepared when he
Tapped me
And knocked me off my feet
One little touch
Now my life s complete cause when he
Nudged me
Love put me in a fix, yes it
Hit me
Just like a ton of bricks, yes my
Heart burst
Now i know what life s about
One little touch
And love s knocked me out and,
I can hear the bells
My head is spinning
I can hear the bells
Something s beginning
Everybody says
That a girl who looks like me
Can t win his love
Well, just wait and see cause
I can hear the bells
Just hear them chiming
I can hear the bells
My temp rature s climbing
I cant contain my joy
Cause i fin ly found the boy
I ve been missin
Listen!
I can hear the bells
Round one
He ll ask me on a date and then
Round two
I ll primp, but won t late because
Round three s
When we kiss inside his car
Won t go all the way
But i ll go pretty far!
Then,
Round four
He ll ask me for my hand and then
Round five
We ll book the wedding band so by
Round six
Amber, much to your surprise
This heavyweight champion
Takes the prize and...
I can hear the bells
My ears are ringing
I can hear the bells
The bridesmaids are singing
Everybody says
That a guy who s such a gem
Won t look my way
Well, the laugh s on them cause
I can hear the bells
My father will smile
I can hear the bells
As he walks me down the aisle
My mother starts to cry
But I can t see cause Link and I
Are french kissin
Listen!
I can hear the bells
I can hear the bells
My head is reeling
I can hear the bells
I can t stop the pealing
Everybody warns
That he won t like what he ll see
But I know that he ll look
Inside of me yeah,
I can hear the bells
Today s just the start cause
I can hear the bells
And til death do us part
And even when we die
We ll look down from up above
Remembering the night
That we two fell in love
We both will share a tear
And he ll whisper as we re reminiscin
Listen!
I can hear the bells
I can hear the bells
I can hear the bells
