i don't want to be a bride
I like your company, gotta a fresh philosophy Never knew such a gentleman You could take me on a cheap vacation I don't wanna have expectations Cause you could be the end of me I don't need a house on a hill, a swing on a tree A grandfather clock, porcelain for tea A garden with rose and jasmine Gonna get drunk on a bottle of wine No better way to pass the time Forever by your side I don't wanna be a bride Apologies to your mother, I wanna be your girl And spend this life with you But I don't wanna wear white But you know it's too late for that But can't we keep the ever after Or could it be? Don't need no golden ring It'd be no match for the love you'd bring, From London to Tennessee We could catch a train to another life On a wing under the moonlight, I promise you Will you promise me? Our last names on a wooden sign, Arm in arm where the river starts to wind Forever by your side I don't wanna be a bride Apologies to each other, I wanna be your girl And spend this life with you But I don't wanna wear white But you know it's too late for that But can't we keep the ever after Or could it be Just you and me Ah, we will live like kings under lavender skies Skies We will live like kings under lavender, skies Skies We will build a poem we kept a rhyme Wrapped our love in golden twine We wrote, we wrote a legacy Just you and me Just like kings under lavender skies Skies we will live
