This Day / Walking By A Wedding testo

If/Then: A New Musical

Testo

Oh oh oh

Hey

Oh oh oh hey

All the days he thought he lost her

All the nights she had that fear

All the fights and all they cost her

All of that has led them here

All their life has gone this way

So they could be here this day

Oh this day

And all the wrong turns on the way

Somehow brought them both here to this day

Walking by a wedding

On East Tenth, near lower Broadway

In the dappled afternoon

Of a not-quite-summer's day

Walking by a wedding

With the wispy, waspish bridesmaids

With the whitest calla lilies

In the tidiest bouquet

It must be May

All the time I lost before you

All the time I left to fate

All the time that I'll adore you

Is how I know we're not too late

Ev'ry hour of love's delay

Doesn't mean a minute this day

Oh this day

And when we finally say those vows

I'll love you just as long as time allows

Walking by a wedding

As the church doors tumble open

And the cousins and the colleagues

Stagger out into the street

You imagine your own wedding

As you float on down the aisle

To the man up on the altar

Who will make your life complete

Who perhaps someday you'll meet

And she will never look so beautiful

And he will never stand so still

And this day may last forever

But tomorrow never will

And life will never seem so beautiful

Or troubles seem so far away

Or the answers be so easy

As "I do"

Ans "I do"

This once

This day

Walking by a wedding

On East Tenth, near lower Broadway

In the dying afternoon

Of a should-be-summer day

Standing there and knowing

The world will never seem so lonely

As when you're walking by a wedding

And waiting

And watching

Then walking, walking away

Get ready for the bride and groom

All the things I messed up badly

All the hurt and all the shame

You'd do ‘em all again, and gladly

If you knew it'd end up the same

All my life a sad display

All of it, except for this day

Oh, this day

And I'm a sorry sight to see

Except the fact that you love me

And all I lost along the way

Is all I had to lose to find this day

Oh, this day

This day

Oh, this day

I'm amazed he somehow found her

I'm amazed that she gave in

She will lift and he will ground her

All in all, I'd say it's a win-win

‘Cause her first time was disaster

Way out West as Oren's wife

She'd'a ditched him that much faster

If Josh walked into her life

Oh, this day

This day

Oh, this day

Oh oh oh

This day

Oh, this day

Oh oh oh

This day

Oh, this day
