It was a cold and dreary night, when I called you up to say,
"There's only just a few more miles, but I am on my way."
My radio was blaring, the windows were all rolled down,
Nothing's going to stop me now, for I am wedding bound.
Thinking of my bride, how beautiful she will be,
Speeding up to get there, for my love I longed to see.
The miles seemed to get longer, excitement building strong,
In an instant I close my eyes, not knowing what was wrong.
The next thing I remember, your face so lovely to see,
The beautiful lady who said yes, when asked to marry me.
There you were beside me, "What are you doing here?
Our wedding is about to start my love, I told you I was near."
You looked into my eyes, tears falling down your face,
All I could see surrounding us, was a beautiful dress of lace.
"Why are you crying all those tears, you shall marry me tonight,
Have you changed your mind already, or has your love lost it's sight?"
Reaching down, she kissed me, "I'll love you forever my dear,"
Then falling onto my chest, weeping is all I could hear.
That very moment and time, I knew my dreams were shattered,
For when I closed my eyes to imagine her, I lost everything that mattered.
As I lay here lifeless before you, you are full of hurt and pain,
In your eyes I see the sadness, for what will never be the same.
I want to hold you close to me, tell you everything's okay,
To comfort all your sadness, take all your pain away.
Somehow deep inside of me, I know you will get through,
I want to say, "I'm so sorry love, this isn't what I intended to do."
My dream was just to be there, watch you walking up the isle,
Glaring into each others eyes, sharing our love all the while.
Holding your hand in mine, speaking our vows and saying I do,
To be the man whom you'd always love, and for eternity I'd love you too.
We'd kiss and hold each other, walking hand in hand, away,
For this would be the beginning, of the life we'd share this day.
In my arms you'd dance, under the moonlit sky so bright,
Proud of holding you close my love, for you are the most beautiful sight.
Today is just the beginning, of the heartache you shall feel,
I'll be forever by your side, hoping that your heart will heal,
I'd beg for one more chance, in hopes to do it right,
If only just to see you smile, on our wedding night.
