Love Is A Beautiful Thing

(album: Prayer Of A Common Man - 2008)

Look's like everybody's here
Had to put some folding chairs in the vestibule
Yeah, it's getting full
Even old Aunt Ruby came
Her first time on an airplane
It's her sister's girl
She wouldn't miss it for the world
And all them kids jumping in the pew
And Mr. Charlie in his lime-green suit is a handsome man
Remarks widow Callahan
Uncle Joe and Uncle Jake
Haven't spoken since '98, just said "Hello."
It's a good day to let it go

So let the angels gather
Let the music play
Let the preacher get to preaching all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air
Let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limousine
Love is a beautiful thing

Daddy's waiting with the bride
As she helps him with his tie she sees a tear
He says "Man it's hot in here."
He hugs his little girl and asks,
"How did you grow up so fast, God, I wish
Your momma could be here for this."
And everybody stands and smiles
As she comes walkin down the aisle in her momma's gown
And daddy breaks on down
Gran and gramps in the second row
Stood right there 50 years ago
And said their vows
Yeah I guess that's working out

So let the angels gather
Let the music play
Let the preacher get to preaching all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air
Let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limousine
Love is a beautiful thing

A little table full of gifts
Catering is cover dish and the wedding band
Well, that's on her hand
Tommy's teasing Lorali
He pushed her down
He made her cry
And neither one knows, the day will come

When the angels gather
And the music plays
And the preacher get to preaching all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air
Let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limousine
Love, two people in love is a beautiful thing
