As I slowly turn the pages
and see all these smiling faces,
it's hard to believe it was today,
ten years ago.
Here is the invitation to our wedding celebration.
Just look at the promise these pictures show.
Now I know,
if I had loved her by the book,
she would be right here by my side.
But fool that I am,
I overlooked my promise to love her forever,
for worse or for better,
we'd still be together,
if I had loved her by the book.
I'd open this book more often,
than I would have forgotten,
how much she cared, how much I meant,
my solemn vow,
to honor to heaven hold her.
But as I read them over,
I know it's too late to say I'm sorry now,
but somehow.
I know,
if I had loved her by the book,
she would be right here by my side.
But fool that I am,
I overlooked my promise to love her forever,
for worse or for better,
we'd still be together,
if I had loved her by the book.
She would be right here by my side.
But fool that I am,
I overlooked my promise to love her forever,
for worse or for better,
we'd still be together, if I had loved her,
if I had loved her by the book.
