Confetti Day

(album: Every 1's A Winner - 1978)

Grandma in the church sleeping
Ma was in the church weeping
Daddy was ready to give his daughter away
Antie Claire said to Antie Mary
How have you been keeping?
I haven't seen you since Grandpa passed away

Confetti day
Think about what you're doing
Confetti day
Driving myself to wreck and ruin
But when the preacher said, say I do
I looked at you and I knew what I was doing was right
I said, when the preacher said, say I do
Jenny, I looked at you and I knew what I was doing was right

Night before I couldn't sleep
Thinking 'bout the vows I had to keep
For better, worse, for evermore
Standing at the altar
My heart beating faster
Man, if I were a bird, I'd fly straight through the door

Confetti day
Better think about what you're doing
Confetti day
Driving myself to wreck and ruin
But when the preacher said, say I do
I looked at you and I knew what I was doing was right
I said, when the preacher said, say I do
I looked at you, babe, I knew what I was doing was right

And the people came to the party
And they all had a good time
And I was so proud of all these friends of mine
And the band played on and we danced on way into the night
A better day was never had by me in all my life

Confetti day
Better think about what you're doing
Confetti day
Driving myself to wreck and ruin
But when the preacher said, I do
Jenny, I looked at you and I knew what I was doing was right
I said, when the preacher said, say I do
I looked at you, you know, you look so good in white
Oww!
