Love Is A Beautiful Thing Song Lyrics
by Phil Vassar

Phil Vassar
Prayer Of A Common Man
Love Is A Beautiful Thing
Looks like everybody's here.
Had to put some folding chairs
in the vestibule.
Yeah, it's gettin full.

Even old Aunt Ruby came,
her first time on an airplane,
it's her sister's girl,
she wouldn't miss it for the world.
And all them kids jumpin in the pews,
And Mr. Charlie in his lime green suit
is a handsome man.
remarks Widow Calahan.
Uncle Joe and Uncle Jake
haven't spoken since '98,
just said hello.
It's a good day to let it go.

So let the angels gather,
let the music play.
Let the preacher get to preachin
all the 'do you takes?'
Love is a beautiful thing.
Throw the rice in the air,
let the church bells ring.
Tie the cans to the back of that limosine.
Love is a beautiful thing.

Daddy's waitin with the bride.
As she helps him with his tie
she sees a tear.
He says, 'Man it's hot in here.'
He hugs his little girl and asks,
'How did you grow up so fast?
God I wish your mama could be here for this.
And everybody stands and smiles

as she comes walkin down the aisle
in her mama's gown.
And daddy breaks on down.
Gran and Gramps in the second row,
stood right there 50 years ago
and said their vows.
Yeah, I guess it's working out.

So let the angels gather,
let the music play.
Let the preacher get to preachin
all the 'do you takes?'
Love is a beautiful thing.
Throw the rice in the air,
let the church bells ring.
Tie the cans to the back of that limosine.
Love is a beautiful thing.

A little table full of gifts,
catering this covered dish.
And the wedding band,
well, it's on her hand.
Tommy's teasin Lorelai,
he pushed her down and made her cry.
And neither one knows,
that day will come,

When the angels gather,
and let the music play.
And the preacher get to preachin
all the 'do you takes?'
Love is a beautiful thing.
Throw the rice in the air,
let the church bells ring.
Tie the cans to the back of that limosine.
Love...
Two people in love
Is a beautiful thing.
