One Day

Five more minutes until my brother is finally happily wed
Five long minutes that seem forever
And then he's happily wed
Look at how he's dressed
Morning coat and vest
Five more minutes until the rest of his life

One day I got married with a veil and with a vow
One day I got married like my brother's doing now
And on the day I married
I could feel it there and then
I loved who I wanted
And said "Amen"

He's incredible
How'd he manage it
What's he feeling inside
Some say happiness, some say nervousness
Some may think of the bride
Always knew he would
Land on something good
Five more minutes until the rest of his life

One day I got married
And my heart could touch the moon
Any sorrow buried on that sunny afternoon
And on the day I married every moment heaven sent
I loved who I wanted
And stayed content

See that man who's coming down the aisle
There to greet my brother with a smile
He's the man who'll be my brother too
At the moment they pronounce "I do"
I do. I do. I do.

I've hoped and prayed about it
And now I get to shout it
See him getting married on a promise and a prayer
He is getting married with our family standing there
And though the world is wary we'll still happily declare

Go be how you want to
Go live how you want to
Go love who you want to
And walk on air
