Across the way you gaze at her to see that someone special

The instant feel that overcomes in you, you become so sentimental

You’re nervous and you’re twitching as you look upon her beauty

She looks across and smiles at you, to love her is your duty.

You do the hardest thing by far, walk over and ask her name?

She starts to giggle and she blushes, to you this does inflame*

First date draws upon thee, what to wear you must look swell

As you arrive to fetch your Queen to be, for this story to retell.

Sometime has passed and it’s been on your mind, you feel it’s now or never

You approach your love and kneel on one knee and ask her to stay forever

Her face lights up with a tear in her eye as she feels she’s now complete

A wedding to plan, invitations to write and so many people to meet.

The big day has arrived where you say “I do”, excitement all around

As he’s waiting at the altar for you to arrive, by god you look so Grande

He starts to cry with love he feels in his heart, you amaze him in every way

By your side he’ll be, through thick and through thin, until his dying day.
