Lyrics - For My Wedding by Don Henley

(larry john mcnally)
For my wedding,
I will dress in black
And never again will
I look back
Ah, my dark angels we must part
For
I’ve made a sanctuary of my heart
To want what
I have
To take what
I’m given with grace
For this
I pray
On my wedding day
For my wedding,
I don’t want violins
Or sentimental songs about thick and thin
I want a moment of silence and a moment of prayer
For the love we’ll need to make it in the world out there
To want what
I have
To take what
I’m given with grace
For this
I pray
On my wedding day
On my wedding day
I dream, and my dreams are all glory and light
That’s what
I’ve wanted for my life
And if it hasn’t always been that way
Well,
I can dream and
I can pray
On my wedding day
So what makes us any different from all the others
Who have tried and failed before us
Maybe nothing, maybe nothing at all
But
I pray we’re the lucky ones;
I pray we never fall
To want what we have
To take what we’re given with grace
For these things
I pray
On my wedding day
On my wedding day
