lud's wedding lyrics

I love my wife and I love her more
Than the way I used to love her before
She became my wife, but today she is
So don't call me early 'cause I'll be busy
Beside her waiting for her to wake
And her eyes to open like dawn is breaking
The whole world over for me today
'Cause I can't believe that I heard her say
She would honor, love and obey till death do us
Pardon me if I catch my breath

When I knew my wife was the wife for me
We went out and sat by the willow tree
And I begged and pleaded, uh huh
Marry me, honey, and that is what she did

Begged and pleaded, uh huh
Marry me, honey
And that is what she did

Oh, how you pleaded
If you thought you needed to
You sure were wrong, you took too long
But I kept on praying, one day I'd be saying

I love my husband, I love him more
Than the way I used to love him before
He became my husband but now he is
So don't call me early 'cause I'll be busy
Beside him waiting for him to wake
And his loving arms to reach up and take me
For one more trip to the milky way
Like he did before, when I heard him say
He would honor, love and obey till death do us
Pardon me if I catch my breath

Oh, I never thought he'd propose to me
Till he took me out by the willow tree
And he begged and pleaded, uh huh
Marry me, honey, and that is what he did

Begged and pleaded, uh huh
Marry me, honey
And that is what she did

I love my husband, I love him more
Than the way I used to love him before
He became my husband but now he is
So don't call me early 'cause I'll be busy
Beside him waiting for him to wake
And his loving arms to reach up and take me
For one more trip to the milky way
Like he did before, when I heard him say
He would honor, love and obey till death do us
Pardon me if I catch my breath

Oh, I never thought he'd propose to me
Till he took me out by the willow tree
And he begged and pleaded, uh huh
Marry me, honey, and that is what he did

Begged and pleaded, uh huh
Marry me, honey
And that is what we did
