It’s A Beautiful Thing

(jeffrey steele/craig wiseman)

Looks like everybodys here
Had to put some folding chairs in the vestibule
Yeah, its getting full
Even old aunt ruby came
Her first time on an aeroplain, its her sisters girl
She said she wouldnt miss it for the world

And all them younguns squirmin in the pews
Mr. charlie in his lime green suit is a handsome man
Remarks widow callahan
Uncle joe and uncle jake
Havent spoken since 88
Just said hello
Its a good day to let it go

So let the angels gather, let the music play
Let the preacher get to preachin 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 limosine
(two people in) love is a beautiful thing

Daddys waitin with the bride
As she helps him with his tie she sees a tear
He says its 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

Everybody stands and smiles
As she comes walking down the aisle in her mommas gown
And daddy breaks on down
Gran and gramps in the second row
Stood right there fifty years ago and said their vows
I guess its workin out

So let the angels gather, let the music play
Let the preacher get to preachin 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 limosine
(two people in) love is a beautiful thing

A little table full of gifts
Catering is coverdish and the wedding band
Well thats on her hand
Tommys teasing lorali
Pushed her down and made her cry
And neither one knows a day will come

When the angels gather, and the music play
The preacher get to preachin 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 limosine
Love, two people in love
Its a beautiful thing

Love, its a beautiful thing
(love, its a beautiful thing)
Love, oh sweet love, its a beautiful thing
(love, its a beautiful thing)
Love, oh love, its a beautiful thing
(love, its a beautiful thing)
Love, love, its a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful thing
