Lyrics
Well I keep on waiting, waiting for just the right time
To say what I most mean when the words come together just right
But too many moments they come and they pass right on by
So here I go letting it go not sure I'm ready but I'll try
Well in this day and age such a fairy tale's hard to believe
But this story begins when you both were just kids at fifteen
Falling in love on the opposite side of the street
And knowing forever was coming together immediately
It's because of your love
Hope you see
So much further beyond all our wildest of dreams
To be here, together right now
How you've come along
Out of school you were married and the kids just kept coming around And
the work wasn't paying but you wouldn't let that keep you down
Cause you're not gonna let your kids feel like they're lesser than proud
So you worked your way forward and never let anything
Bring this family down
It's because of your love
Hope you see
So much further beyond all our wildest of dreams
To be here, together right now
How you've come along
And you're still so in love
Yea you're still so in love
I see you still so in love
Yea you're still so in love
Let us celebrate, let us celebrate, let us celebrate...
It's because of your love
Hope you see
So much further beyond all our wildest of dreams
To be here, together right now
How you've come along
(Repeat and Resolve)
