Dressed in white across the altar she stands
I pinch myself to see if she’s real
How’d I fool her to say yes to me?
How’d I become the man she deserves?
Time winds to a halt as I connect with her eyes
The days of my youth flash in my mind
I remember the nights of crying in bed
Shedding tears of hope and tears of sorrow
Hope for the day when I’d meet my wife
Sorrow for doubting if she would come
Hope in a divine relationship
Sorrow for wondering if I’d be worthy
My hope for this imaginary day
Was all that kept me going at times
Knowing my queen was waiting for me
I still moved forward when I couldn’t see
Then the future replaces the past in my mind
Old and wrinkly we look through our scrapbooks
We pass by the day our first child was born
We remember when only she kept me going
We remember when we chose to be faithful
There were the times when we wanted to quit
But we believed in each other and always pulled through
Together we gave our souls to the world
We took each other where we couldn’t alone
There were tears of laughter and tears of frustration
Moments of ecstasy and moments of pain
We grew together because it was our commitment
We dedicated our lives together
We triumphed and failed together
Our lives were woven and made for each other
We can’t imagine if we’d never have met
Our love has changed us in ways we couldn’t see
Back when our marriage began
All the way back to the beginning
Back to this day as we’re saying our vows
The past and the future are present with me
Helping me cherish this moment
I breathe, and the second hand begins anew
We complete our vows and walk out of the church
