This Day / Walking by a Wedding

[All]

All the days he thought he lost her

All the nights she had that fear

All the fights and all they cost her

All of that has lead them here

All their life has gone this way so they could be here this day

On this day

And all the wrong turns on the way

Somehow brought them both here to this day

[Beth]

Walking by a wedding

On East 10th near lower Broadway

In the dabbled afternoon of a not-quite-summer's day

Walking by a wedding

With the wispy waspish bridesmaids

And the whitest calla lilies in the tidiest bouquet

It must be May

[Kate]

All the time I lost before you, all the time I left to think

[Anne]

All the time that I'll adore you is how I know we're not too late

[Kate]

Every hour of love delayed

[Kate & Anne]

Doesn't mean a minute this day

On this day

And when we finally say those vows,

I'll love you just as long as time allows

[Beth]

Walking by a wedding

As the church doors tumble open

And the cousins and the colleagues stagger out into the street

Imagine your own wedding

As you float on down the aisle

To the man upon the altar, who will make your life complete

Who perhaps one day you'll meet

And she will never look so beautiful, and he will never stand so still

And this day may last forever but tomorrow never will

And life will never seem so beautiful or troubles seem so far away

Where the answers be so easy, as I do and I do

This was this day

Walking by a wedding

On East 10th near lower Broadway

In the dying afternoon of a should-be-summer day

Standing there a knowing the world will never seem so lonely

As when you're walking by a wedding

And waiting

And watching

Then walking, walking away

[David]

Get ready for the bride and groom

[Liz]

All the thing's I've messed up badly, all the hurt and all the shame

[Josh]

You'd do them all again and gladly

If you knew you'd end up the same

[Liz]

All my life is at display, all of it except for this day

[Liz & Josh]

Oh this day

[Liz]

And I'm a sorry sight to see,

Except the fact that you love me

[Liz & Josh]

And all I lost along the way

Is all I had to lose to find this day

Oh this day

[All]

This day, on this day

I'm amazed he somehow found her

I'm amazed that she gave in

She will lift and he will ground her

All in all, I'd say it's win-win

'Cause the first time was disaster,

When out west, was Oren's wife

She'd have ditched him that much faster if Josh walked into her life

Oh this day

This day, oh this day

This day, oh this day

This day, oh this day

This day, oh this day

This day, oh this day

This day, oh this day

This day, oh this day

This day, oh this day
