[Intro]
(Soft piano, gentle harp plucks)
Ooh, yeah... mmm
(Oh-oh... I do, I do...)
---
[Verse 1]
Just a few years ago
I could never foresee
Something so wonderful
Happening to me
I was content, but still I dreamed
Of love that felt like destiny
Spent quiet nights just wondering
About the “What ifs” and the “maybe”s
---
[Pre-Chorus]
Who would have thought
God would have sought...
Out someone like you for me
So incredibly, perfectly
Aligned with every part of me
(Thank You... for blessing me...)
---
[Chorus]
Baby, I'm so full of gratitude
To spend my life with you
For the rest of our lives
We'll be husband and wife
On this beautiful, blessed day
Our dreams come true
My love... Today and Forever... I do
(I do... I do... forever, with you...)
---
[Verse 2]
We’ve weathered every storm
With faith to see us through
Our hearts grew even stronger
With anything we've gone through
Through prayers and deep communication
Love became our true foundation
We’re not perfect, but we’re enough
And in God, we place our trust
(Oh, I believe... in us...)
---
[Chorus]
Baby, I'm so full of gratitude
To spend my life with you
For the rest of our lives
We'll be husband and wife
On this beautiful, blessed day
Our dreams come true
My love... Today and Forever... I do
(I do... with all of me... all of me...)
---
[Bridge – Climax Begins]
(Strings swell gently, harmonies and ad-libs rise)
We’ll laugh, we’ll cry
We’ll grow and rise
Hand in hand, side by side
Every vow, we’ll live it out
As long as there is time
(You and I... you and I... eternally...)
---
[Final Chorus – Climactic and Full]
Baby, I'm so full of gratitude
To spend my life with you
For the rest of our lives
We’ll be husband and wife
On this beautiful, blessed day
Our dreams come true
My love... Today and Forever...
Forever and ever... I do...
(I do... I do... with all of me... for all of time...)
---
[Outro – Gentle Fade]
Ooh...
Today and forever...
I do...
