Something Blue Lyrics

Something old, something new

Something borrowed, something blue

My dearest Claire, I love you

Please keep that in mind

And I could never cause you pain

I'm just so terrified

Cause when the wedding's over

And we're back behind closed doors

What if we wake up and we're not happy anymore

I don't want our marriage to reflect a brief sunset

But what if the horizon brings hardships and regret

For three months now I've kept these fears

All bottled up inside

Each night my pillow caught the tears

I didn't let you hear me cry

Something old

What about your mother's wedding dress

Something new

Your handmade veil

But it needs another press

Something borrowed, earrings

Your sister cries with glee

That brings us to something blue

And something blue is me

I'm passing down the corridor

Praying there's still time

Your brother stops me with a laugh

It's bad luck to see the bride

He's the one who set us up

My best friend since we were five

I always looked up to him but

I can't meet his eyes

I hear the service starting now

I'm terrified to move

I'm not sure what might come out

If asked to say I do

Something old

What about your favorite high-heeled shoes

Something new, a handkerchief

Your cousin made for you

Something borrowed, a hair clip

All the way from Germany

That brings us to something blue

And something blue is me

You never make it down the aisle

There's silence in the room

By now you've found my letter

And what's a bride without her groom

Something old, something new

Something borrowed, something blue
