The Wedding

John Luthy 1962 (Wa)

Rings and things
And bells and towers, gowns and veils
And lots of flowers
And lots of people in one hope
That tw0 people can really cope,
Say you will and forever I do
A promise of a lifetime thru and thru,
And everyday we’ll go through life
I as your man, and you as my wife
And everyday well look to the lord
Above
That we may live each day
            Happy in love.
