(jeffrey steele/craig wiseman)



Looks like everybody's here

Had to put some folding chairs in the vestibule

Yeah, it's getting full

Even old aunt ruby came

Her first time on an aeroplain, it's her sister's girl

She said she wouldn't miss it for the world



And all them young'uns squirmin' in the pews

Mr. charlie in his lime green suit is a handsome man

Remarks widow callahan

Uncle joe and uncle jake

Haven't spoken since '88

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 takes

Love is a beautiful thing

Throw the rice in the air let the church bells ring

Tie the cans to the back of that limosine

(two people in) love is a beautiful thing



Daddy's waitin' with the bride

As she helps him with his tie she sees a tear

He says 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



Everybody stands and smiles

As she comes walking 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

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 takes

Love is a beautiful thing

Throw the rice in the air let the church bells ring

Tie the cans to the back of that limosine

(two people in) love is a beautiful thing



A little table full of gifts

Catering is coverdish and the wedding band

Well that's on her hand

Tommy's teasing lorali

Pushed her down and made her cry

And neither one knows a day will come



When the angels gather, and the music play

The preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes

Love is a beautiful thing

Throw the rice in the air let the church bells ring

Tie the cans to the back of that limosine

Love, two people in love

It's a beautiful thing



Love, it's a beautiful thing

(love, it's a beautiful thing)

Love, oh sweet love, it's a beautiful thing

(love, it's a beautiful thing)

Love, oh love, it's a beautiful thing

(love, it's a beautiful thing)

Love, love, it's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful thing
