Legend of the Big Steeple - Single (Remaster)

Lyrics

There's a legend about a Church in our town
 The steeple so high had seen for miles around
 Look on the hill and you'll realize
 The steeple's too big for the Churches size
 It seems it was a long time ago when this church had no steeple
 Just four walls and the roof overhead sheltered the humble people
 But the money was short 'cause the times were bad
 They had to get along on what they had
 Just good simple people praying for a steeple
 About this time when spring was near
 A man of wreath and his sweetheart dear
 Made their plans for the bells to ring
 They would wed on the first of spring
 So this man of wealth and his true love dear named the wedding hours
 They would wed in the little Church the one that had no towers
 But he was a kind and generous man he told his true love of his plan
 I'll build a steeple for these good people
 Yes they'll have their steeple
 The bells there will ring
 They'll ring for our wedding
 On the first day of spring
 But they say death comes like a thief
 And soon his heart was filled with grief
 One week before the wedding day
 He learned his love had passed away
 Inspite of his grief and broken heart he kept the promise given
 I'll build the steeple so my love can hear the bells in Heaven
 And then he built the steeple ground the tallest one in all the land
 That's how the people got their steeple
 Well that is the reason
 The steeple is so high
 And why the bells ring louder
 When springtime is night
