Love's Here To Stay

Love's Here To Stay

Get up and move
Today is the day
It's time to prove
Love's here to stay

See the happy bride
So nervous can't speak
Dad beaming with pride
Mom kissing her cheek

The groom stands steady
Heart starting to pound
Way past being ready
For this treasure found

Knowing a kind man
Waits at the alter
Reaching for her hand
She will not falter

Watching his future wife
Floating down the aisle
Eyes dancing with life
Can't help but smile

Asked to hold hands
Recite sacred marriage vows
Exchange silver wedding bands
Husband and wife now!

Guests are gathered around
Sharing this special day
Words of wisdom abound
Music starts to play

Beneath the setting sun
Mischief in every glance
Everyone needs crazy fun
Do the chicken dance

Bouquet and garter tossed
Eager hands reach high
Some won some lost
Some laugh some sigh

Party over, guests gone
Nothing else to say
Sweet kisses until dawn
Love's here to stay.
