Caroline and Matt's Wedding Song

-words and music © 2005 Chris Monti

Oh sister on your wedding day | What helpful things can your brother say? | When we first met back in ‘79 | I knew we’d have a real good time | You’ve done everything right that I could not do | But still you love me and I love you | You’ve got wide arms and a watermelon heart | And a good sense of family and that’s the best place to start | We’ve become good friends over the course of out lives | Now we’re old enough to talk about husbands and wives

Oh sister and brother on your wedding day | Listen to these words that I’d like to say | Times will get tough but you can work through that part | Just listen carefully and keep an open heart | Take care of each other through thick and thin | No matter what situation you find you’re stuck in | Listen to each other | Talk it through | And remember that the other is in love with you

Love is something we can’t understand | It doesn’t fit in our brains | It doesn’t fit in our hands | It doesn’t do to keep it and you can’t just give it away | But be quiet and listen for it | And it can help you make your way | LOVE | …oh sister and brother on your wedding day
