Happy Wedding Day (Alex’s Song)

Lyrics

[Verse 1: John Cooper] Me and mom were working at the speed of light Trying to be parents, trying to live right Guess we made it And I wouldn't change a thing Everybody said you got your daddy's eyes You were my princess, you were my pride Now you're grown up Can't believe how things have changed [Pre-Chorus: John Cooper] Now look at you standing in your white dress Where'd the time go? Not prepared for this It's rushing back to me like a flash flood But I remember all the nights [Chorus: John Cooper] Leave the dishes out and we'd put you to bed Say no to one more story that I wish I'd of read I didn't know then it'd come to an end And I want it back now We started out with dreams and love and nothing more We ate from paper bags and we slept on the floor Sometimes we weren't sure 'bout this adventure But you made us so proud I blinked, it went faster than a freight train Happy wedding day [Verse 2: John Cooper] Being on the road like a circus act The highlight of the night was to hear you laugh Guess we made it, but it's a little quiet now Planes, trains, buses they were all you knew Companions, best friends, survivors too We had some hard times But they never kept us down [Pre-Chorus: John Cooper] Now look at you standing in your white dress Where the time go? Not prepared for this It's rushing back to me like a flash flood And I remember all the nights [Chorus: John Cooper] Leave the dishes out and we'd put you to bed Say no to one more story that I wish I'd of read I didn't know then it'd come to an end And I want it back now We started out with dreams and love and nothing more We ate from paper bags and we slept on the floor Sometimes we weren't sure 'bout this adventure But you made us so proud I blinked, it went faster than a freight train Happy wedding day [Post-Chorus: John Cooper] Happy wedding day Yeah, I remember all the nights [Chorus: John Cooper] Leave the dishes out and we'd put you to bed Say no to one more story that I wish I'd of read I didn't know then it'd come to an end It's rushing back now We started out with dreams and love and nothing more We ate from paper bags and we slept on the floor Sometimes we weren't sure 'bout this adventure But you made us so proud I blinked, it went faster than a freight train Happy wedding day Faster than a freight train Happy wedding day [Outro: John Cooper] Look at you standing in your white dress
