Lyrics
[verse]
Down in the valley where the choir used to sing,
There was a boy who made my heart take wing.
His daddy preached on Sundays, stern and true,
But after service he'd come find me too.
[chorus]
Oh, that boy from the chapel house,
He was the only one who knew how to slow it down.
Sweet as the hymn we never got to finish singing,
That boy from the chapel house, my heart still remembers him.
[verse]
We'd meet behind the churchyard after dark,
Whisper secrets underneath the old oak's bark.
He held my hand like it was something rare,
Like something holy hanging in the air.
[chorus]
Oh, that boy from the chapel house,
He was the only one who knew how to slow it down.
Sweet as the hymn we never got to finish singing,
That boy from the chapel house, my heart still remembers him.
[bridge]
Years have passed and I've moved far from home,
But some nights the memory comes back on its own.
No one ever loved me quite as tenderly,
As that boy who used to steal away with me.
[chorus]
Oh, that boy from the chapel house,
He was the only one who knew how to slow it down.
Sweet as the hymn we never got to finish singing,
That boy from the chapel house, my heart still remembers him.
