In traditional societies, the bride wore a white veil which was lifted at the end of the ceremony. And yes, the mission bells were wedding bells, telling the returning narrator to leave.<br /><br />Richard WheelerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-22679858604879425032009-12-05T11:12:00.845-05:002009-12-05T11:12:00.845-05:00I have the Sinatra, I have the album (Come Fly Wit...I have the Sinatra, I have the album (Come Fly With Me, 1958) and have listened to it many times. <br /><br />He goes to Mexico, they have a fling, he leaves her, she not expecting it. (They both say "tomorrow" but only she means it). Later, he goes back and he sees her in church. I always thought, though she kneels to pray, that the veil of white was her wedding veil, that she has fallen in love with another man and has just gotten, or about to get, married.

He can't be tied down, of course, so hits the trail. But he can't stop thinking about her, and eventually rides on back. Seeing her praying, he knows she'll want to get hitched, so he vamooses again. A tender and moving tale, to be sure.Evan Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620731784654779358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-16289680681239206622009-12-05T10:55:38.522-05:002009-12-05T10:55:38.522-05:00Lana might be able to tell you this.
