WEDDING DAY - 12th July 2008 (read by Joe Richards) - Chanson : David Gray : Sail Away

The day of your wedding
Is a time to reflect
On the things you can hope for
And the things to expect

You could hope for great riches
Huge bundles of cash
But then lose it all
In a stock market crash

Or you could hope for
A life of great ease
With the time and money
To do as you please

But its better to hope for
The good things in life
Like a long happy life
As husband and wife

Like the smile and the kiss
As you walk through the door
And the baby that wakes you
At a quarter to four

And a life of variety
With sunshine and rain
And Frosties for breakfast
Instead of champagne

Expect times of anger
The occasional huff
Because no-one annoys you
Like the one that you love

But don't look for the problems
That the future may bring
just to love and be loved
Is a wonderful thing

Life's not all plain sailing
Not always a ball
But I know you'll be happy
Because love conquers all. 



Robert Palmer 1945-1997
