I Do Lyrics

The day he met Mary

It all fell into place

There was so much love to give

Soon they got married in a chappel nearby

Where they learned how to love and forgive

Be mine forever

to have and to hold

As long as we both shall live my love

And however life unfolds

He tried to become a man

Worked hard got home late

It just earned them a small, gloomy flat

It made him feel guilty as God was his witness

And so were his wife and the cat

And the words forever

To have and to hold

And as long as we both shall live my love

Became painful to uphold

For richer for poorer

For better for worse

The vows started sounding

Like Ezekiels curse

He just couldn't say the words

Hold me

Hold me

And hear her say

I still love you

She just couldn't say the words

Love me

Love me

Or hear him say

Baby I do

Then one night in bed

When he was too restless

About all he felt, but couldn't say

He got out of bed

Put his words in a letter

It told her that he couldn't stay

Cause the words forever

To have and to hold

And as long as we both shall live my love

Are too painful to uphold

He took the van

Drove off

Left Mary the flat

She wanted to leave

But because of the cat

He just couldn't say the words

Hold me

Hold me

And hear her say

I still love you

She just couldn't say the words

Love me

Love me

Or hear him say

Baby I do

I love you
