Another Wedding Song

Lyrics

[MAN 1] The future's here, the past is dead I won't dissect or weigh it But something small's been left unsaid And now's the time to say it You're not my first, as well you know Once before I leapt when marriage beckoned But you're so much more than merely first You are the first to be second [WOMAN 2, spoken] Ha ha ha ha ha, oh [WOMAN 2] I screwed up too, I made a vow That lasted forty years less than I reckoned How lucky for you, for starting now You can be first to be second [MAN 1] So what if we had bubblеs that got burst? [WOMAN 2] All of those mistakes are in thе past [WOMAN 2 & MAN 1] I don't care if you are not my first [MAN 1] As long as you're the first to be my last [WOMAN 2] I'd better be [WOMAN 2 & MAN 1] Here's to our firsts, we learned a lot Our future will be gloriously fecund [WOMAN 2] Of firsts we've had the same amount [MAN 1] Now we'll make each second count [WOMAN 2 & MAN 1] From now on my first to be second Comes first
