The Day You Married

10 Sep 2002

I thought that on the day you married we’d close the Pentagon
But you’re in the chapel, bells are ringing, and we’re still making war

Love turns war to peace
Love hope and faith increase
Love is the only thing you've ever known

I thought that on the day you married everything would change
But you’re a husband and the rest of the world is still the same

Love turns the hands of time
Love hurricane's eye
Love is the only thing worth banking on

I thought that on the day you married we’d reach the Promised Land
But you’ve got the ring and we’ve got the same landscape of burning sand

Love turns the universe
Love souls in joy immerse
Love is the only thing left at the end

I thought that on the day you married we would kiss the sky
But we’re still singing down at the levee and drinking whiskey and rye

Love turns two to one
Love our redemption won
Love is all in all for better or worse
