Look into his eyes and take his hand.
Don't be nervous; flash a smile.
On my finger gleams a wedding
band,
I've longed
for this day for quite a while.
Don't be nervous; flash a smile.
Knees together to hold me up,
everything blurs,
including the crowd.
I've longed for this day for
quite a while.
Take deep breaths in and out, a
brief ceremony,
shaky vows.
Don't be nervous; flash a smile.
And then it comes: you may kiss
the bride.
I've longed for this day for
quite a while.
Cameras record joyful tears and emotional
highs.
We rush down the aisle; petals
escape my peonies,
rise and fall on the wind in a rolling
pink tide.
Corks pop, glasses clink, violin
strings hum,
champagne toasts and my mother cries.
God blessed; our lives entwined.
Look into his eyes and take his
hand.
Forever his, always mine.
On my finger gleams a wedding
band.
