Paul Brandt › Lyrics › It's a Beautiful Thing

Looks like everybody's here
Had to put some folding chairs in the vestibule
Yeah, it's getting full

Even old Aunt Ruby came
Her first time on an aeroplane, it's her sister's girl
She said she wouldn't miss it for the world

And all them young'uns squirmin' in the pews
Mr. Charlie in his lime green suit is a handsome man
Remarks widow Callahan

Uncle Joe and Uncle Jake
Haven't spoken since '88, just said hello
It's a good day to let it go

So let the angels gather, let the music play
Let the preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing

Throw the rice in the air, let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limousine
Love is a beautiful thing

Daddy's waitin' with the bride
As she helps him with his tie, she sees a tear
He says, "It's hot in here"

He hugs his little girl and asks
"How did you grow up so fast, God I wish
Your momma could be here for this"

Everybody stands and smiles
As she comes walking down the aisle in her momma's gown
And daddy breaks on down

Gran and gramps in the second row
Stood right there fifty years ago and said their vows
I guess it's workin' out

So let the angels gather, let the music play
Let the preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing

Throw the rice in the air, let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limousine
Love is a beautiful thing

A little table full of gifts
Catering is cover dish and the wedding band
Well, that's on her hand

Tommy's teasing Lorali
Pushed her down and made her cry
And neither one knows a day will come

When the angels gather, and the music plays
The preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing

Throw the rice in the air, let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limousine
Love, two people in love, it's a beautiful thing

Love, it's a beautiful thing
Love, it's a beautiful thing
Love, oh, sweet love, it's a beautiful thing
Love, it's a beautiful thing

Love, oh, love, it's a beautiful thing
Love, it's a beautiful thing
Love, love, it's a beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful thing
