Lyrics
What words would be spoken if chance they be said?
This day a bookmark dividing your days,
With youth now behind you, a new life ahead.
All filled with promise in love's goden rays.
It isn't a small thing to see a child born,
to see the years pass, to watch a child grow,
To gaze as the future so slowly takes form.
What will you be and where will you go?
It's hard to say goodbye, but say goodbye to those childhood days;
It's hard to say goodbye, but say goodbye to those childhood ways,
for now the time has come to usher in a new way of life.
Just look ahead and face the world as man and wife.
The years now behind you, the years up ahead,
The days are numbered, take care as you live;
Be true to your promise this day as you wed,
receiving love so much love you should give.
The future before you as you look beyond
this day of changing, directing your life,
this great joy of caring, of sharing this bond,
joining of hearts and become man and wife.
It's hard to say goodbye, but say goodbye to those childhood days;
It's hard to say goodbye, but say goodbye to those childhood ways,
for now the time has come to usher in a new way of life,
Just look ahead and face the world as man and wife.
