Blue eyes Like a sailor's dream
Laughter clear like a runnin' stream
Warm, sincere and serene
That's the way our lovin' seemed
Musta been about sixteen
We didn't know anything
The first time we heard the ring of truth
The ring of truth
Like an old church bell
At the stroke of midnight
Answers "all is well"
To my ear I held
An old seashell
And heard a ring of truth
Then I saw it the spring moon rise
Ring around rings making circles in the skies
Heard it in her voice, saw it in her eyes
Suddenly I realized
Love's a pendulum in swing
Your heart doesn't know a thing
Until it strikes the ring of truth
The ring of truth
Like an old church bell
At the stroke of midnight
Answers "all is well"
To my ear I held
An old seashell
And heard a ring of truth
Now you ask me, "would I go back to her?"
The answer's no
That it was a long time ago
She taught me all I needed to know
But sometimes when I dream
I can swear I hear the running stream
I can swear I hear the ring of truth
The ring of truth
Like an old church bell
At the stroke of midnight
