For My Wedding

For my wedding, I will dress in black And never again will I look back Ah, my dark angels we must part For I've made a sanctuary of my heart To want what I have To take what I'm given, with grace For this I pray On my wedding day For my wedding, I don't want violins Or sentimental songs about thick and thin I want a moment of silence and a moment of prayer For the love we'll need to make it in the world out there To want what I have To take what I'm given, with grace For this I pray On my wedding day On my wedding day I dream, and my dreams are all glory and light That's what I've wanted for my life And if it hasn't always been that way Well, I can dream and I can pray On my wedding day So what makes us any different from all the others Who have tried and failed before us Maybe nothing, maybe nothing at all But I pray we're the lucky ones; I pray we never fall To want what we have To take what we're given, with grace For these things I pray On my wedding day On my wedding day --- For My Wedding - Don Henley
