Christine Lavin - Summer Weddings lyrics

Everyone I know is getting married next summer Living together just isn't enough I guess Blushing 30 year old brides Register their china pattern And go shopping for that Long white dress Maybe she's becoming aware of her own mortality The thought of having children Doesn't seem so wrong Maybe he's grown tired Of looking for that perfect woman When the perfect woman's been there all along (All along, all along) I've seen them walking down the aisle The groom nervous The bride all smiles Both feel little foolish After all these years They think they know each other well But looking in their eyes no one could tell They're trying hard to cover up those Age old fears And I've stood there with the single women When the bride throws the bouquet Never really wanting it I reach out anyway Like I've been reaching I've been searching For something I can hold Still young enough to think There's lots of time before I am too old for all of this And I've danced with the best man And all the relatives The music sounds so tinny As I glide across the room Oh it feels strange To dance at weddings Of those who swore they'd never marry Buzz off now On their honeymoon Everyone I know is getting married next summer Living together is no longer enough I guess Blushing 35 year old brides Register their silver And go shopping for that Long white dress
