Hear You Say I Do
By AllHeart
I hardly knew my Mom, it's been so long, I can't recall her pretty face...
The same holds true for you, but it's your Daddy who, you often miss his warm embrace...
They were taken from the two of us, so very long ago...
We'll hold them in our hearts forever, wherever we may go...
It hasn't been so long, since we said goodbye, since we cried those salty tears...
to the ones who held us tightly, to whom we shared our joys and fears...
If only one wish was bestowed us, after all the time that flew...
It'd be to ask "Do you really love me?", and hear you say "I do"...
Say "I Do", say "I Do", we long to hear those words from you...
If only for a moment somewhere near the church's pew...
Say "I Do", say "I Do", words to us so precious are so few...
Nothing more we miss so much than to hear you say "I do"...
You know I've never been a rich man, but with that you could live without...
We see eye-to-eye on so many things, but not on all without a doubt...
You like to call yourself and old soul, I like to say I'm young at heart...
The age between us doesn't matter, I'm not the same when we're apart...
It hasn't been so long, since we said hello, since we had that secret kiss...
Know I can't say goodbye, to the one I love, to the one I'd truly miss...
If only one wish was bestowed me, what would keep me from feeling blue...
Is to ask you "Will you marry me?" and hear you say "I do"...
Say "I Do", say "I Do", I long to hear those words from you...
And promise me forever, somewhere near the church's pew...
Say "I Do", say "I Do", words to me so precious are so few...
Nothing more I wish so much, than to hear you say "I do"...
If the day it came, I'd fall to my knees, I'd give you your engagement ring...
It'd mean that I love you forever, you know it'd mean everything...
I hope I've done something right, amidst all that I've done wrong...
Hear you say the words I've longed to hear, leave your lips in beautiful song...
The only thing I'd feel was missing, the only thing that wasn't right...
Make me feel I had dishonored, brought some darkness to his light...
In his place up high in heaven, your Dad deserves his respect too...
Wish I could ask for your permission, and pray I hear you say "I do"...
Say "I Do", say "I Do", I long to hear those words from you...
If only for a moment somewhere near the church's pew...
Say "I Do", say "I Do", words to me so precious are so few...
Nothing more I wish so much, than to hear you say "I do"...
Say "I Do", say "I Do", I long to hear those words from you...
From the man I don't remember, from the man I never knew...
Say "I Do", say "I Do", I hope you're listening up there too...
Ask "Do you love her like no other?", you know you'll hear me say "I do".
