Matthew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Clothed in white beuaty
She's ready for the day
In the dress that she made looking only at me
Makin' a promise
To love and to cherish until death takes you from me
Oh the years roll on
Raising our boys
And all of the joy that a father could have
In a house full of music
I wanna kiss you forever
That's not how it would be
I cut through the air (he cut through the air)
In my L-29 (in his L-29)
The last thing I saw (the last thing he saw)
Was God's holy light
Well I ain't no saint (he ain't no saint)
But I love someone true (he loves someone true)
Had I a say, you know I would stay
Heaven's all I could choose
A house full of music
I wanna kiss you forever
Well I'll be watchin' over you
Flip over the record!
