Don Henley For My Wedding song lyrics

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
