Guess what I did today
Those were the words I said to you
It was last May, don't know the exact day
In my head there was a praise
And you told me that you loved me
More than anything in your life
And I asked you would you do me
The honor of being my wife (yes I will)
I will be your man, your protector, your best friend
'Til my humble life is ended
Then time begins again (couldn't we)

Couldn't we be the happily ever after
We can be strong together for so long (our love goes strong so
Long)
Couldn't we please be happliy ever after (couldn't we be, baby)
Leaving you never stays forever strong

When I was away (umm...hmm)
Some friends became just faces
Some people grew apart
But you stayed right in my heart
In so many times, could picture this day inside my mind
And for so many years, ooh
I knew it would be you here with me, ooh (yes I will)
Take you for my wife, the center of my life
And I will never ever fade
From this choice I've made, ooh...oh

Couldn't we be the happily ever after (come on)
We could be strong together for so long
Couldn't we please be happily ever after
Leaving you never stays forever strong (hey...ooh...hey yeah)

You don't have to look no further than me (don't look no
Further, baby yeah)
You don't need much more than my lovin' to make you happy (I'm
So happy, babe)
Beneath the side of God, I will make this vow to you (come on
Baby)
I'll be right here, stay with me (stay with me, baby hey)

Couldn't we be the happily ever after
We could be strong together for so long
Couldn't we please be happily ever after
Leaving you never stays forever strong (no, no I will never
Leave you, ooh)
