Lyrics

He (C)fin ’lly gave in to his friend’s girl friend when she said, “There’s some one you should meet.”

At a crowd ed res t’rant way cross town

when (Am)she walked in,

their eyes met

and they both stared.

And (Am)right there and then

ev ’ry one else dis ap peared

but one boy,

one, girl,

(Em)two hearts beat ing wild ly.

To put it (C)mild ly, it was love

at first sight.

He smiled,

she smiled,

and (F)they knew right a way

(Em)this was the day they’d wait ed for all their lives.

For a (F)mo ment the whole world

re (F)volved a round one boy

and one girl.

In (C)no time at all they were stand ing there in the front of a lit tle should church,

At a mong their friends and fam i ly,

re (F)peat ing those (G)sa cred words.

The (Am)preach er said,

“Son, your bride,”

and he raised her

Like (Am)the night they met,

time ’ry one just stood ap still

for one boy,

(Em)two hearts beat ing wild ly.

To put it (C)mild ly, it was love

at first sight.

He smiled,

she smiled,

and (F)they knew right a way

(Em)this was the day they’d wait ed for all their lives.

For a (F)mo ment the whole world

re (F)volved a round one boy

and one girl.

“Con (F)grat u la tions!
