Wedding Song ©1994 Richard March First time he saw her, she’s in red and black And all the people around her taking second looks back He was workin’ hard in his uniform He was big and strong, his smile was warm She’d catch his eye, then look away While he thought hard on the right words to say Keeping his guard up, biding his time Till one day, he looked up She’s standing in line Year had just turned a few days before So he asked her what she did, to keep her in the store But the people behind her hoped it wouldn’t last So she smiled and turned away, her heart beating fast This was it, wouldn’t get another shot So he followed her out into the parking lot Walking up slowly, biding his time Till smiling, they looked up And they knew it was right That was years ago Or was it just yesterday We held each other’s hands Hoping that words could say How much we wanted love Dreaming we’d find a way That was so long ago Or was it today Parents knew it before they did Love like this just can’t be hid Mother said, “Baby, my feeling’s good” And her sisters agreed, and hoped she would And he asked his father And father said, “Son, I feel it in my bones, you’ll marry this one” That was years ago Or was it just yesterday We held each other’s arms Knowing that words would say How much we trusted love Knowing we’d find a way That was so long ago Or was it today.
