1st Verse

Looks like everybody's here

Had to put some foldin' chairs in the vestibule
Yeah, it's gettin' full
Even old Aunt Ruby came

Her first time on an airplane
It's her sister's girl
She wouldn't miss it for the world


Pre Chorus



And all them kids jumpin' in the pews
And Mr. Charlie in his lime-green suit

'Is a handsome man'
Remarks Widow Callahan
Uncle Joe and Uncle Jake

Haven't spoken since '98
Just said, 'Hello'
It's a good day to let it go


Chorus


So let the angels gather
Let the music play
Let the preacher get to preachin' all the "do you take"'s

Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air
Let the church bells ring

Tie the cans to the back of that limosine
Love is a beautiful thing


2nd Verse

Daddy's waitin' with the bride

Yeah, she helps him with his tie
She sees a tear
He says, 'Man, it's hot in here' hmm

He hugs his little girl and asks,
'How did you grow up so fast?
God, I wish your Momma could be here for this'


Pre Chorus


And everybody stands and smiles
As she goes walkin' down the aisle
In her Momma's gown

And Daddy breaks on down
Gran and Gramps in the second row
Stood right there fifty years ago

And said their vows
Yeah, I guess it's workin' out


(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge


A little table full'a gifts
Catering's covered dish

And the wedding band
Well, that's on her hand
And Tommy's teasin' Lorelei

He pushed her down and made her cry
And neither one knows
A day will come


Tag Chorus


When the angels gather
And the music plays
And the preacher gets to preachin' all the "do you take"'s

Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air
Let the church bells ring

Tie the cans to the back of that limosine
Love
Two people in love is a beautiful thing
