"A Song For My Daughter"
Just once upon a yesterday
I held you in my arms
You grew into a little girl
with lovely childhood charms
Now it seems I only turned around
And I see you by his side
Oh, I can't believe my eyes today
My Daughter is a Bride
I guess somehow I always knew
This day would soon be here
Still I wonder as I look at you
What became of all the years
And no words could ever quite express
The way I feel inside
Oh, I can't believe my eyes today
My Daughter is a Bride
All the laughter and the teardrops
The sunshine and the rain
I would relive every moment, Dear
If I could bring them all back again
But now, My Love, the time has come
To send you on your way
So I wish you every happiness
And the blessings of this day
And I hope the love I've given you
Will forever be your guide
Oh, I can't believe my eyes today
My daughter - Oh, I can't believe my eyes
My Daughter - Oh, my angel and my pride
My Daughter is a Bride

"A Song For My Son"
I don't know where
The time has gone
Since those little boy days
Doesn't seem that long
Yet here you are
It's your wedding day
And there's one thing darling
I'd like to say...
(chorus)
Be kind, be sweet
Be a gentle man
Care and share
And always be fair
And remember though you now
Have taken a wife
You will always be my son
My Loving son
You filled my life
With so much joy
As I watched you grow
From that little boy
Now I'll try not to cry
As you walk away
And just once more darling
I'd like to say...
(chorus)
Be kind, be sweet
Be a gentle man
Care and share
And always be fair
And remember though you now
Have taken a wife
You will always be my son
My Loving son

"As We Break This Bread"
As we break this bread together
Let's make this promise too...
As we live our lives from day to day
We'll remember the love we feel today
When we break our bread together
As we share this bread together
Let's swear between us two...
As we live our lives from day to day
We'll remember the loved ones here today
When we share our bread together
Day to day
As this busy world goes on its way
We'll take time
And these simple things
will help remind us
Of our Wedding Day
As we bind our lives together
We find this simple truth...
As we live our lives from day to day
Love will help us find our way
As we break our bread together
And share our bread together
And bind our lives together

"Time"
You used to love the way
I could dance on your feet
When I was a child of four
And it used to make me mad
When you couldn't see
I wasn't that child anymore
But today I'm a woman
And old enough to know
What this moment
Must mean to you, so...
(Chorus)
One more time
I'll be your little girl
One last time
I'm in ribbons and curls
And we'll waltz
Through our memories
Of days gone by
The times that we laughed
And the times we cried
One more time
I'll be your little girl
One last time
But you can be sure
though all of my little girl
Days are through
I still love you
Daddy, I love you

"A Wedding Thank You"
On this very special day
I think back on all my yesterdays
And the way that you've been there
Always showing me how much you care
Still I seldom took the time
To show the feelings in this heart of mine
And I want you now to know
It was you who gave me strength to grow
So I hope that you won't mind too much
If I take some time today
To say the words of thanks
I always meant to say...
(Chorus)
Please let me thank you
With this song of love
To show just how I feel
Let me thank you now
With all my heart
And all our loved ones near
Let me tell the world how much
You've meant to me in every way
I want to thank you
On my wedding day
(Repeat Chorus)

"To Our Family & Friends"
Here we are a bride and groom
It seems this day went by too soon
Now we stand near the day's end
Sharing the love of our family and friends
You've all been a part
Of this lifetime of love from the start
All of our lives we hoped and we prayed
For a story-book ending this way
But now that the hour is finally near
Just can't let go of this love we hold dear
So let's tell all the world we know
We got love and we won't let go
Hold on...
(Chorus)
Hold on, there's a party goin' on
Hold on real tight
Hold on, there's a party goin' on
With our family and our friends tonight
You've joined our celebration
Danced and had some fun
What a better way to end this day
Now that we are one
Get up, get out here
This ain't no time to hide
We want to party till the end of time
(repeat chorus)
Don't let go, tomorrow's gonna have to wait
There's no time like right now
To tell you how we feel
You've made our day a special one
Now all our dreams are real
Get up, get out here, we want you by our side
We want to party till the end of time

"Our First Dance"
This is Our First Dance
Take my hand
And make this magic last
For a lifetime,
This is Our First Dance
Hold me close
And we'll start our life
Now as man and wife
And dance Our First Dance
Dance with me my Darling
Whisper sweetly in my ear
As I cherish every vow
You've shared with me,
Let this music take us far away
To that special place
Where lovers stay
And dream of all the joy
That's yet to be...
I'm gonna be with you forever
In perfect harmony
And I'll always be your lover
And your friend
On the wings of love
I know we'll fly
Like a bird our souls
will reach the sky
Together in a song that never ends
And if the world should stop,
Our love will lead us
Back where we began...
Back to Our First Dance

"A Father's Song"
A man walks on this earth
For not so very long
And he wonders what
He'll be remembered by
When he is gone.
So he struggles through the years
Down a road he paves
With hopes and fears
Trying to carve his name
Upon the wall of time.
And so it is, my son
That I stand here now
Looking o'er the years
Of all the sweat and tears
That crossed my brow.
All the battle plans I drew
And all the mountains
That I tried to move
Lay behind me now
Like miles of sifting sand.
chorus)
But of all the things I've done
I'll never be more proud
Than of you, my son
And of all the dreams I've had
It meant more just to hear
You call me "dad"
More than any wealth or fame
Or any glory I wish I could claim
More than anything I'll ever do
Son, I'll always be most proud
Of you.
Now you stand before me, son
On this golden day
And it's plain that you're a man
No more a child at play
But through a haze of tears I see
That little boy
Who once looked up to me
And realize that I'm the one
Who now looks up to you.
(repeat chorus)

"A Gift Without A Bow"
When the sun has closed his eyes
And friends all said their last goodbyes,
You'll give them thanks
For the gifts they brought this day
Pretty gifts and precious things,
Bows on boxes tied with strings,
With grateful hands you'll place each one away.
(chorus)
But one more gift will still be waiting
Faithful as a star unfading
Purer than a winter's snow
And warmer than the sun
It's a gift without a bow or ribbon
Ever blessing, ever giving,
Nestled near you gently as a dove,
The gift without a bow is our love.
As the moon begins her flight
And the stars turn out to paint the night
You'll give your thanks for the gift of a perfect day.
You'll lay your head beneath the skies
And wait for sleep to fill your eyes
And soon your dreams will carry you away.
(repeat chorus)

"Heaven Knows (Anniversary Song)"
I know that we've had some highs and lows
And that it hasn't always been a bed of roses
And I know that it doesn't always show, but...
(chorus)
Heaven knows I couldn't live without you
Heaven knows I'm just as crazy 'bout you now
As that first day you turned my world around,
And heaven knows upon the stars above
I swear I'll never let you go,
What'd I ever be without your love
Only heaven knows.
Man and wife sometimes let the days go by
And they forget to keep the flame
Of love's light burning,
And oh, sometimes they might
even say goodbye, but...
(repeat chorus)
As time goes by
We share the sunlight
And sometimes brave the cold.
But through it all
Through our trials great and small
We survived
And now we stand together side by side.
(repeat chorus)
