I Sang a Song For You
I sang a song for you on your wedding day
It was an old tune from a musical long ago
It captured the spirit in a most poignant way,
Such a romantic piece, gentle and mellow.
As I sang, your mother was moving her lips
I surmised your choice was special to her
Like a stargazer is enraptured by an eclipse
A mother-of-the-bride is so easy to stir.
Then you appeared in white satin and lace
On the arm of your father glowing with pride
The happiest smile adorned your sweet face
For the man at the altar, the one at your side.
In those moments the song was forgotten
All eyes were focused on the beautiful bride
I could see your beloved, entirely besotten,
Ready to take those vows to forever provide.
But I knew when you looked back that way
As the years steadily absorbed your bliss,
You’d remember I sang for your wedding day,
Just as you would remember that special kiss.
