Sweetheart, it was only yesterday
We talked and laughed and cried
And wondered what the future held-
And then you'd softly sigh

How glad I am of all those years,
Each precious memory
I keep now tucked within my heart-
The love you shared with me



And now it's time, for our farewell
But, I'm most glad to know
That God has brought a special friend-
So you'll not be alone

Now, as you join this man you love
Upon your wedding day
No tear I shed 'twill shade the joy-
Of love, now come your way



You're beautiful, my darling girl
God's giving you His best
His heart o'erflows for you with love-
Forever more be blessed

I love you sweetheart
