Original lyrics
ENIt's Easter time,
the bells on the hill are ringing,
ringing once again
There's a smile on the face of this weary world
that seems to say "amen"
It's Easter time,
the bonnets are gaily nodding,
nodding to and fro
While the folks walk to church
as they did so long ago!
And there's a basket
on the dining room table
with fancy Easter eggs for all
And there's a Lilly in all it's glory,
waiting in the hall . . .
It's Easter time,
the dawn of the year is shining
in the hearts of men
With the joys and the hopes
that have risen once again!
< instrumental break >
( And there's a basket
on the dining room table
with fancy Easter eggs for all . . . )
And there's a Lilly in all it's glory,
waiting in the hall . . .
It's Easter time,
the dawn of the year is shining
in the hearts of men
With the joys and the hopes
that have risen once again!
( It's Easter time . . . ) It's Easter time, again!
