Love is a Beautiful Thing

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Looks like everybody's here Had to put some foldin' chairs in the vestibule Yeah, it's gettin' full Even old Aunt Ruby came Her first time on an airplane It's her sister's girl She wouldn't miss it for the world [Pre Chorus] And all them kids jumpin' in the pews And Mr. Charlie in his lime-green suit, "Is a handsome man" Remarks Widow Callahan Uncle Joe and Uncle Jake Haven't spoken since '98, just said, "Hello" It's a good day to let it go [Chorus] So let the angels gather Let the music play Let the preacher get to preachin' all the "do you take"'s Love is a beautiful thing Throw the rice in the air Let the church bells ring Tie the cans to the back of that limosine Love is a beautiful thing [Verse 2] Daddy's waitin' with the bride Yeah, she helps him with his tie she sees a tear He says, "Man, it's hot in here" He hugs his little girl and asks "How did you grow up so fast? God, I wish Your Momma could be here for this." [Pre Chorus] And everybody stands and smiles As she goes walkin' down the aisle in her Momma's gown And Daddy breaks on down Gran and Gramps in the second row Stood right there fifty years ago And said their vows Yeah, I guess it's workin' out [Chorus] So let the angels gather Let the music play Let the preacher get to preachin' all the "do you take"'s Love is a beautiful thing Throw the rice in the air Let the church bells ring Tie the cans to the back of that limosine Love is a beautiful thing [Bridge] A little table full of gifts Catering is cover dish and the wedding band Well, that's on her hand And Tommy's teasin' Lorelei He pushed her down and made her cry And neither one knows A day will come [Chorus] When the angels gather And the music plays And the preacher gets to preachin' all the "do you take"'s Love is a beautiful thing Throw the rice in the air Let the church bells ring Tie the cans to the back of that limosine Love Two people in love is a beautiful thing
