(larry john mcnally)

For my wedding, i will dress in black
And never again will i look back
Ah, my dark angels we must part
For i’ve made a sanctuary of my heart

To want what i have
To take what i’m given with grace
For this i pray
On my wedding day

For my wedding, i don’t want violins
Or sentimental songs about thick and thin
I want a moment of silence and a moment of prayer
For the love we’ll need to make it in the world out there

To want what i have
To take what i’m given with grace
For this i pray
On my wedding day
On my wedding day

I dream, and my dreams are all glory and light
That’s what i’ve wanted for my life
And if it hasn’t always been that way
Well, i can dream and i can pray
On my wedding day

So what makes us any different from all the others
Who have tried and failed before us
Maybe nothing, maybe nothing at all
But i pray we’re the lucky ones; i pray we never fall

To want what we have
To take what we’re given with grace
For these things i pray
On my wedding day
On my wedding day
