By the Book |
| I slowly turned the pages |
| and see all these smiling faces |
| it’s hard to believe it was today, ten years ago |
| here is the invitation, to our wedding celebration |
| just look at the promise theses pictures show (now I know) |
| If I had loved her by the book |
| She would be right here by my side but fool that I am |
| I overlooked my promise to love her forever, for worse or for better |
| We’d still be together… if I had loved her by the book |
| If I’d opened the book more often |
| Then I wouldn’t forgotten |
| How much she cared, and how much I meant my solemn vow |
| To honor, to have and to hold her… but as I read them over |
| I know its to late to say I’m sorry now, but some how |
| If I had loved her by the book |
| She would be right here by my side but fool that I am |
| I overlooked my promise to love her forever, for worse or for better |
| We’d still be together… if I had loved her by the book |
| If I’d opened the book more often |
| Then I wouldn’t forgotten |
| How much she cared, and how much I meant my solemn vow |
| To honor, to have and to hold her… but as I read them over |
| I know its to late to say I’m sorry now, but some how |
| If I had loved her by the book |
| She would be right here by my side but fool that I am |
| I overlooked my promise to love her forever, for worse or for better |
| We’d still be together… if I had loved her by the book |
| If I’d opened the book more often |
| Then I wouldn’t forgotten |
| How much she cared, and how much I meant my solemn vow |
| To honor, to have and to hold her… but as I read them over |
| I know its to late to say I’m sorry now, but some how |
| If I had loved her by the book |
