The Wedding Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Scene is all laid out, it's what we always dreamed about
'Cause you and me have stood the test of time
And proved that we, we will make it out alright
Today is when faith will turn to sight
The preacher takes his place, all eyes watching as I wait
'Cause you and me have stood the test of time
And proved that we, we will make it out alright
Today is when faith will turn to sight
Funny thing is it doesn't matter much
What the world could try and throw at us
'Cause they could never touch us
You and me have stood the test of time
And proved that we will make it out alright
'Cause you and me have stood the test of time
And proved that we, we will make it out alright
Today is when faith will turn to sight
