Songtexte: Phil Vassar. Prayer of a Common Man. Love Is A Beautiful Thing.

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

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

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 limousine
Love is a beautiful thing

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"

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

And everybody stands and smiles
As she comes 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

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 limousine
Love is a beautiful thing

A little table full of 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

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 limousine
Love, two people in love is a beautiful thing
