Down the aisle I'll walk with you Just to hear the words I do All of my life I want to be Good and sweet till eternity I do thee wed this day With this ring we go our way For better or worse I take thee wed By your hand I will be led Through the years we'll live in bliss Life will be full of happiness Oh chimes from the church bells will ring With each hour they'll be rippling Something old, something new Something borrowed, something blue I am yours to cherish and behold With this little band of gold
