April 23 Lyrics

I took my lover and my friend to meet my family

Mama's roasting coffee beans daddy's doing carpentry

We told them bout our wedding day t'was a surprise can't disagree

It's been long twelve years waiting for that day

We took a long ride on a bus to meet her family

Her mama's sitting by her store her daddy's pumping gas

We told them bout our wedding day t'was a surprise can't disagree

It's been long twelve years waiting for that day

It was April twenty three we all gathered in a church

We both said I do for better or for worst

It was the day meant for us top start our own family

It's been long twelve years waited for that day

When our hairs to gray watching grandkids play

Singin' them lullaby and nursery rhymes

We hope to live until that day golden anniversary

Renew our vows with grandma waiting for that day
