Chorus:

The bells were chiming
In St. Peter's Square;
The birds were climbing
In the morning air.
I stood beside you
And said a silent prayer;
It was the age-old dream
Of lovers ev'rywhere.
Your love was with me
And your lips confessed;
One touch of fingers
And the dream was blessed.
It seemed our love had built
Its own cathedral there,
That morning in Rome,
In old St. Peter's Square.
