Intro: D D/C# D/B D/A D D/C# D/B D/A

         D                    D/C#         D/B 
When the sun comes up on that first August day

D                 D/C#        D/B
Birds chirping a sweet melody

D                       D/C# D/B             
The sound of joyful laughter ringing in our ears

D                   D/C#                D/B 
Knowing this is the biggest day of our lives

             D                 D/C#            D/B   
I'll see you walk down in your white dress of purity

D              D/C#                 D/B   
A veil of lace hiding your beautiful face

D                       D/C#     D/B           
You'll put your hand in mine And we'll say our vows

D                       D/C#               D/B
Before the world we'll promise to live as one

G6           Asus4  A
You'll be my wife today

D       D/C#         D/B     D/A
As your husband I'll always stay

     G              A                   D Dsus4 D
And years from now we'll start a family

G                                      D       D/C#            D/B             Asus4 A
It's funny how just a few months ago a lovely lady caught the eye of a lonely man

G                                   D                  D/C#          Asus4 A Asus4 A
Though it took some time to feel at ease we knew someday we'd be in love

       G                       D
'Cause I gave my life and you took it

G                         Asus4 A Asus4 A
You gave your heart and I held it

        Asus4           A            Asus4         A
And the God of love smiled down and saw that it was good

Asus4          A
Saw that it was good

Asus4           A    Asus4 A
Saw that it was good

     D                 D/C#        D/B
I've promised you the world with a sincere heart

D               D/C#                        D/B
I believe that nothing can keep us from fulfilling our dreams

D                     D/C#           D/B
Together you, me, and God will live joyfully

       D                    D/C#          D/B      D D/C# D/B
Yes, together, you, me, and God will live happily

     D            D/C#         D/B
Let no man separate that which God has put together

      D                   D/C#                  D/B
For a man shall leave his home and cling to his wife

    D           D/C#        D/B
Yes he gave me you and you know he gave you me

D                     D/C#             D/B
With his guidance our love will grow abundantly

       D         D/C#        D/B
Let us always remember that God is forever with us

          D              D/C#             D/B
Through smiles, trials, cheers, and tears he'll be there

     D               D/C#     D/B
He's brought us this far the place of beginning

D                 D/C#                D/B
Let's give it our all till the end of time

G6           Asus4  A
You'll be my wife today

D       D/C#         D/B     D/A
As your husband I'll always stay

     G              A                   D D/C# D/B D/A
And years from now we'll start a family

     G              A                D  Dsus4 D
And years from now we'll start a family



Written for my wife and sung at our wedding on August 1, 1981. By the way,
years from then, three to be exact, we started a family. We now have four kids.
