Lyrics:

“I Do (Written For Daughters’ Weddings)”

He said, “I never felt this way in my heart as I do now
I never wanted anything more in my life as I do now
And I can’t describe what I’m feelin’ inside
I’m askin’ for forever tonight”And she said, “I’ll be with you
I’ll stay with you”
And I’ll love you all of my days
And I’ll walk with you
Through life I’ll dance with you
And I hope you feel the way that I do
And he said, “I do”

So they walked hand in hand
Till they got lost somewhere in time
Then, the sun woke up and put the moon to bed with it’s light
Then he asked her once more
If she’s really sure
‘Cause what we have, you know there’s no cure

And she said, “I’ll be with you
And I’ll stay with you”
And I’ll love you all of my days
And I’ll walk with you
Through life I’ll dance with you
And I hope you feel the way that I do
And he said, “I do”

And she said, “I’ll be with you
And I’ll stay with you”
And I’ll love you all of my days
And I’ll walk with you
Through life I’ll dance with you
And I hope you feel the way that I do
And he said, “I do”

And she said, “I’ll be
And I do”
