Lyrics
THE FUTURE (A Wedding Song)
I never knew that morning
Would bring such a sweet sunrise.
You appeared without warning -
Oh, what a sweet surprise!
From the darkness came your light,
The brightness that was you.
Never believed love at first sight -
But, Honey, now I do.
Holding you so close, I?m sure
I have won a golden prize.
I look into the future
When I look into your eyes.
I walked alone so many times,
Far from the sound of friends.
Now I hear those wedding chimes -
And my loneliness ends.
I never met Lady Luck;
She never held my hand.
But I felt like lightning struck -
When I held that wedding band.
Holding you so close, I?m sure
You are where my treasure lies.
I look into the future
When I look into your eyes.
When I gaze back down the trail,
The past is in the shadows.
Together, we?ll lift the veil ?
On all our bright tomorrows.
All I know from this day on
Is that I will be with you.
Long after our youth is gone -
Our love will still be true.
Holding you so close, I?m sure
Tomorrow the sun will rise.
I look into the future
When I look into your eyes.
Holding you so close, I?m sure
I have won a lifetime prize.
I look into the future
When I look into your eyes.
I look into the future
When I look into your eyes.
