"Chapel of Love" is a song written by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich and Phil Spector, and was made famous by The Dixie Cups in 1964. The song spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The song tells of the happiness and excitement the narrator feels on her wedding day, for she and her love are going to the "chapel of love", and "we'll never be lonely anymore." Many other artists have recorded the song. It was originally recorded by the Blossoms in April 1963 but was never released. The Dixie Cups' version was the debut release of the new Red Bird Records run by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller along with George Goldner. The Ronettes included the song on their debut album released in November 1964 with production by Phil Spector. In 1973, singer and actress Bette Midler had a moderate hit with a cover of "Chapel of Love". (source) Lyrics of Chapel of Love by The Dixie Cups Woah! Spring is here and the sky is so very blue.
