Mission Bell Lyrics

Mission Bell

 Donnie Brooks

 Words and Music by Jesse D. Hodges and William Michael

 

 Reached # 7 on the Billboard pop chart in 1960

 

 (Say that you love me)

 (Say those pretty words and I will give my love to you)

 

 My love is higher than a mission bell (how deep?)

 Deeper than wishin' well (how strong?)

 Stronger than a magic spell

 

 My love (uh huh) for you

 It's wider than the widest sea (how long?)

 Longer than a memory (how sweet?)

 Sweeter than a honey tree

 

 My love (uh huh), oh oh oh (uh huh)

 My love (uh huh), mm mm mm (uh huh) for you

 

 Give me your heart of gold

 Your heavenly magic touch

 To cherish, have, and hold

 I need your love so much

 

 (Say that you love me)

 (Say those pretty words and I will give my love to you)

 

 My love is warmer than a day in Spring (how bright?)

 Brighter than a diamond ring (how brave?)

 Braver than a mighty king

 

 My love (uh huh) for you

 It's taller than the tallest tree (how soft?)

 Softer than a summer breeze

 

 All I ask you, please

 Give (uh huh) your love (uh huh)

 Your love (uh huh), sweet love (uh huh) to me

 

 (How high?) higher than a mission bell

 (How deep?) deeper than a wishin' well

 (How strong?) stronger than a magic spell

 FADE

 (How wide?)
