Music & Lyrics by : The Jeremiah People; Steve Taylor

Originally recorded / performed by The Jeremiah People and also Steve Taylor
|
|
she was the one
|
who caught the bouquet
|
the night of her best friend's wedding day
|
|
she was the one
|
who caught the bouquet
|
a token that God must want it that way
|
|
and on the quest for her Mr. Right
|
she said, "I do" where the lonely give in
|
they were married on the way, and oh,
|
nothing's sadder than the words,
|
"it might have been"
|
|
he was the one
|
but promises dull
|
when Jesus becomes expendable
|
|
expecting to find
|
what never was there
|
but doesn't it still beat solitaire?
|
|
she'd heard that time turns desire to love
|
and that the Lord had it all in control
|
so marry two half people, and oh,
|
shouldn't one make the other whole?
|
shouldn't one make the other whole?
|
|
|
swallowing hard, 'cause you knew better before
|
desperate for someone to blame
|
and does it matter that he's gone again?
|
and nothing's sadder than the words,
|
"it might have been"
|
|
she was the one
|
the bouquet deceived
|
she was the one
|
who could not believe
|
|
and now she's the one
|
who's lonely again
|
and now she's wonders how it might've been
|
how it might've been
|
how it might've been
|
