Today I Met The Boy I'm Gonna Marry
The Crystals Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Today I met the boy I'm gonna marry
He's all I wanted all my life and even more
He smiled at me and the music started playing
Here comes the bride when he walked through the door

Today I met the boy I'm gonna marry
The boy whose life and dream and love I wanna share
For on my hand a band of gold appeared before me
The band of gold I always dreamed I'd wear

When we kissed I felt a sweet sensation
This time it wasn't just my imagination

Today I met the boy I'm gonna marry
He's just what I've been waiting for, oh yeah
With every kiss, "Ooh, this is it" my heart keeps saying
Today I met the boy I'm gonna marry

When we kissed I felt a sweet sensation
This time it wasn't just my imagination

Today I met the boy I'm gonna marry
He's just what I've been waiting for, oh yeah
With every kiss, "Ooh, this is it" my heart keeps saying
Today I met the boy I'm gonna marry

Today I met, ooh, the boy
Ooh, today I met, ooh, the boy

I met The Boy I’m Going To Marry on the first day my family and I moved to our new house 300 miles away from our old one. He was mowing the lawn when we arrived, along with the moving van.
I was 17. 52 years later, we’re still married.This song is my life.
