It's A Beautiful Thing

Looks like everybody's here

Had to put some folding chairs in the vestibule

Yeah, it's getting full

Even old Aunt Ruby came

Her first time on an aeroplane, it's her sister's girl

She said she wouldn't miss it for the world

And all them young'uns squirmin' in the pews

Mr. Charlie in his lime green suit is a handsome man

Remarks widow Callahan

Uncle Joe and Uncle Jake

Haven't spoken since '88, just said hello

It's a good day to let it go

So let the angels gather, let the music play

Let the preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes

Love is a beautiful thing

Throw the rice in the air, let the church bells ring

Tie the cans to the back of that limousine

Love is a beautiful thing

Daddy's waitin' with the bride

As she helps him with his tie, she sees a tear

He says, "It's hot in here"

He hugs his little girl and asks

"How did you grow up so fast, God I wish

Your momma could be here for this"

Everybody stands and smiles

As she comes walking down the aisle in her momma's gown

And daddy breaks on down

Gran and gramps in the second row

Stood right there fifty years ago and said their vows

I guess it's workin' out

So let the angels gather, let the music play

Let the preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes

Love is a beautiful thing

Throw the rice in the air, let the church bells ring

Tie the cans to the back of that limousine

Love is a beautiful thing

A little table full of gifts

Catering is cover dish and the wedding band

Well, that's on her hand

Tommy's teasing Lorali

Pushed her down and made her cry

And neither one knows a day will come

When the angels gather, and the music plays

The preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes

Love is a beautiful thing

Throw the rice in the air, let the church bells ring

Tie the cans to the back of that limousine

Love, two people in love, it's a beautiful thing

Love, it's a beautiful thing

Love, it's a beautiful thing

Love, oh, sweet love, it's a beautiful thing

Love, it's a beautiful thing

Love, oh, love, it's a beautiful thing

Love, it's a beautiful thing

Love, love, it's a beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful thing
