lyrics

Wedding Song
© Helen Dorothy (2006)

You’re calling us together
You’re calling us to you
To share with you your wedding day
And hear your vows said true
You ask if I can sing a song
To send you on your way
And if I were to sing that song
Then this is what I would say

Keep yourselves in rhythm
And move to each other’s tune
And it’s alright, it’s alright
To only sing the words that work for you

Speak in present tenses
And with the one that’s close to you
And it’s alright, it’s alright
If they don’t feel like talking too

And when you part
Part like it’s the last time that you’re parting
And greet as if the journey’s only starting…

Listen to all the distant voices
But hear the one that’s close to you
And it’s alright, it’s alright
That others hear it too
