I took time to think it over
and so now, with things considered,
when you find a girl you think you love,
I hope you go and get her.
I hope she never leaves you,
and I hope that you're her light,
but I hope you dream during the day,
when guilt steals sleep at night.
When she wakes you up so gently
and your eyes are bloodshot red,
I hope the veins spell out in script
every word I ever said.
I might seem a little angry,
it might be a little bitter,
but when you find the girl you think you love,
I hope you go and get her.
When you finally settle down
with that girl you call your wife:
I don't think I hope you're happy,
I think I hope you wonder for the rest of your life.
