about
I wrote this song for my husband Travis, as a representation of my marriage vows to him.
This song would be great for weddings and romantic moments in films.
lyrics
Verse
On the first day of what we know will be
Forever you and me, our eyes are bright, wide open, optimistically.
I’m wearing white today as we give our solemn vows.
We’ll start our days with happy ever after, starting now.
Pre-Chorus
And we sing and dance and make up silly voices
As people start to roll their eyes and laugh.
We’re a little mixed up, a little bit drunk on love
But we’re perfect for each other
And I’ll always want…
Chorus
The way you look at me, am I imagining
The memory of everything that I used to be.
We made up our minds, and you took my hand.
And here we are together, now I think I understand
I’ve reached the end of me.
It’s where we begin.
Verse
Something borrowed has now turned bright sky blue
I stare into your lily pad eyes as if you always knew
That we would reach this moment as we hold each other tight
As the sun goes down and we look out into the starry night.
Pre-Chorus
And we sing and dance and make up silly voices
As people start to roll their eyes and laugh.
We’re a little mixed up, a little bit drunk on love
But we’re perfect for each other
And I’ll always want…
Chorus
The way you look at me, am I imagining
The memory of everything that I used to be.
We made up our minds, and you took my hand.
And here we are together, now I think I understand
I’ve reached the end of me.
It’s where we begin.
Bridge
In case you haven’t figured it out by now,
This is my solemn vow to you.
I promise to protect you, to honor you, and love you
And listen even when the words don’t come out.
Because you really mean the world to me,
And I’ll always want us just like this.
Chorus
The way you look at me, am I imagining
The memory of everything that I used to be.
We made up our minds, and you took my hand.
And here we are together, now I think I understand
I’ve reached the end of me.
I’ve reached the end of me.
It's where we begin.
