Lyrics
Something Blue
Larry Carr/Randy Losoya (c)2009
Her daddy said "sweetheart come and see"
A gift from your momma to the bride to be
He pinned a small pink ribbon on her dress next to her heart
Said "I know she's lookin' down on us today
And I've got some things she put away
To give you on your special day, Let's see what's in the box"
(pre)
As she read aloud the note that lay inside
They both began to cry;
(chorus)
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
For the chapter of your life that starts today
Though I won't be there to see the wife and mom I know you'll be
My hope is that these simple things will guide you on your way
(v2)
Something old a photograph
Of our wedding day that made me laugh
Of your daddy and his two left feet as he tried to dance
What comes next is a New Testament
More precious than the rest of it
Words of life and faith that speak of God's amazing grace
(pre)
A broken watch I put there to remind
We're all on borrowed time
(1/2 chorus)
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
For the chapter of your life that starts today
(bridge)
They thought she had forgotten something blue
The last thing in the box was a mirror
Staring back at her
And right away her daddy knew
Eyes just her Momma's, big and blue"
(chorus)
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
For the chapter of your life that starts today
Though I won't be there to see the wife and mom I know you'll be
My hope is that these simple things will guide you on your way
