Testo By The Book Michael Peterson
here is the invitation, to our wedding celebration
just look at the promise theses pictures show(now I know)
If I had loved her by the book
She would be right here by my side but fool that I am
I overlooked my promise to love her forever, for worse or for better
We'd still be together...if I had loved her by the book
If I'd opened the book more often
Then I wouldn't forgotten
How much she cared, and how much I meant my solemn vow
To honor, to have and to hold her...but as I read them over
I know its to late to say I'm sorry now, but some how
If I had loved her by the book
She would be right here by my side but fool that I am
I overlooked my promise to love her forever, for worse or for better
We'd still be together...if I had loved her by the book
If I'd opened the book more often
Then I wouldn't forgotten
How much she cared, and how much I meant my solemn vow
To honor, to have and to hold her...but as I read them over
I know its to late to say I'm sorry now, but some how
If I had loved her by the book
She would be right here by my side but fool that I am
I overlooked my promise to love her forever, for worse or for better
We'd still be together...if I had loved her by the book
If I'd opened the book more often
Then I wouldn't forgotten
How much she cared, and how much I meant my solemn vow
To honor, to have and to hold her...but as I read them over
I know its to late to say I'm sorry now, but some how
If I had loved her by the book
