The Old Church Steeple (High On A Hillside) 

Chorus: 
High on a hillside the old church steeple calls 
The bells are a ringin?, a singin? to one and all 
Of the joys and the sorrows the laughter and the pain 
The heartbeat of the whole town is heard within that strain 

It called for my brother when he made his way back home 
With a purple heart in a pine box he was never more to roam 
We all came down to meet him and to make our last goodbyes 
I think of him when the bells ring and the tears come to my eyes 

Chorus 

It called to my sister when she walked the aisle in white 
All eyes were upon her with my father on her right 
He gave her away to my best friend, I can hear the bells today 
We?ll meet there to name a new child, and to bless him on his way 

Chorus 

It will call and I?ll answer ?til my ears no longer hear 
It?ll soothe me in anger it?ll wipe out all my fears 
It tells us all that we belong and it swells us up with pride 
We?ll all hear it together and walk there side by side 

Chorus 

High on a hillside the old church steeple calls
