Something old, something new
Something deep inside of you
Tells your heart that this will be
A day let your heart be free

One last chance to show your love
One last dance your dreaming of
In your father’s arms you’ll be
His shining light of ecstasy

One last day to make him proud
To say you love him right out loud
A chance that you’ve been waiting for
To give him joy forever more

Something special, something blue
The ring of gold he gave to you
It glows against your wedding dress
And fills his heart with happiness

The blue of stone is like a beam
That fills your eyes with joyful gleam
Your tears are mixed from deep inside
Of joy and sorrow side by side

Something borrowed, something grand
He places in your lovely hand
It is his hand held tight to yours
As love from out the spirit pours

Hold his hand and you will know
His happiness before you go
Something deep inside of me
Tells me love will always be

Something old, but something true
The best of life is here with you
It’s something new that you have found
It’s to another you are bound

A look of wonder on in his face
To see his daughter dressed in lace
It is a love so pure and true
It’s something old and something new

The Wedding Vow

Tonight’s the night of promises
A vow of love will chime
Through every heart that hears the voice
Of one who once was mine

Her words will echo in the winds
And through the ages pass
Her sons will see them on her face
Through future’s looking glass

A promise made of love that’s true
Will last the test of time
And I will etch this wedding vow
In fringes of my mind

And bless the cherished words she sings
This girl who once was mine
