The Three Bells - Lyrics - Andy Williams

Howard Andrew "Andy" Williams was an American popular-music singer. He recorded forty-four albums in his career, seventeen of which have been Gold-certified and three of which have been Platinum-certified. He hosted The Andy Williams Show, a television variety show, from 1962 to 1971, and numerous television specials. Most recently, he performed at his Moon River Theatre, in Branson, Missouri; the theatre is named after the song he is most known for singingâJohnny Mercer's and Henry Mancini's "Moon River".

There's a village hidden deep in the valley Among the pine trees half forlorn And there on a sunny morning Little Jimmy Brown was born All the chapel bells were ringing In the little valley town And the songs that they were singing Were for baby Jimmy Brown Then the little congregation Prayed for guidance from above Lead us not into temptation, Bless this hour of meditation Guide him with eternal love There's a village hidden deep in the valley Beneath the mountains high above And there, twenty years thereafter Jimmy was to meet his love All the chapel bells were ringing, Was a great day in his life Cause the songs that they were singing Were for Jimmy and his wife Then the little congregation Prayed for guidance from above Lead us not into temptation, Bless oh Lord this celebration May their lives be filled with love From the village hidden deep in the valley One rainy morning dark and gray A soul winged its way to heaven Jimmy Brown had passed away Just a lonely bell was ringing In the little valley town Twas farewell that it was singing To our good old Jimmy Brown And the little congregation Prayed for guidance from above Lead us not into temptation, May his soul find the salvation Of thy great eternal love"
