Story Behind The Song

Hopefully, this song might be taken in somewhat of the same vein as the great R&B hit, "Here and Now" by Luther Vandross but in traditional country markets.

Song Description

This song is very simple, single-themed in nature and traditional in intent. It's lyrics are only about one thing. They state a man's wedding vow on his wedding day. This is really not a contemporary country song. It has no clever play on words in it's lyrics and is not a typical country story song.

From This Moment On

Verse 1
You?re an angel before me in white.
As you walk down this isle, you?re a lovely sight.
Here I pledge that I?ll love you for life.
Take my hand and my heart as my wife.

Chorus 1
From this moment on, whatever life brings
I swear to you now, on this wedding ring.
I?ll be there besides you to share all your dreams
and that?s a vow I?ll keep
from this moment on.

Verse 2
You know life?s uncertain but don?t fear.
Our road could be rocky, the way unclear.
Our path will hold joy and some tears.
But wherever it leads, I?ll be there.

Chorus 2
From this moment on, whatever life brings.
I swear to you now, on this wedding ring.
I?ll cherish and love you. Your best friend I?ll be.
And that?s a vow I?ll keep
from this moment on

Bridge
and on like a tender caress.
In my thoughts, in my heart, darling never forget
the words of this simple man as he tries to express
What he feels when he says
?I love you?I truly do?.

Chorus 3
From this moment on, whatever life brings.
I swear to you now, on this wedding ring.
I?ll cherish and love you and while my heart beats
that?s a vow I?ll keep
from this moment on -
from this moment on.
