This Day / Walking by a Wedding

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
