Love is a beautiful thing

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

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

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
Hmm

He hugs
His little girl and asks
'How did you
Grow up so fast?
God, I wish your Momma
Could be here for this'

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)

A little table full'a gifts
Catering's covered 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

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
