Composed as My Wedding Present to My Bride, Catherine
Beneath the lights of teen-age nights I wondered to the sky
Would I ever settle down and who'd be by my side
The question kept on through the years
But a responsive voice in my mind I'd hear.
You Answered Me that we'd share our future
That our day would come
And You Answered Me that we'd be together forever
We'd be as one.
As the years went by I realized what was lacking in my life
So I sent a message to the world, seeking a soul-mate, partner, wife
One Saturday in the morning mail
Came a letter right out of a fairy tale.
You Answered Me that we'd share our future
That our day would come
And You Answered Me that we'd be together forever
We'd be as one.
And then late on a London night
I asked you to wear my ring for life.
You Answered Me that we'd share our future
That our day would come
And You Answered Me that we'd be together forever
We'd be as one.
Today we stood here side by side before family and friends
And committed to a partnership on which we can depend
And to the question, "Do you take this man?"
Your words I heard once more again.
You Answered Me that we'll share our future
That our day has come
And You Answered Me that we'll be together forever
We are as one.
