He could hear the chime of wedding bells
The moment she walked in
Though he never thought
He never knew
He'd feel that way again
Not an ordinary lover
Not an ordinary man
Not an ordinary day, but
Then again, could he have planned

The little twinkle in her eye
When he asked her for her name
Or the shock, and awe, and wondering why
She'd give the time of day?
Not an ordinary woman
Or an ordinary face
And the music in her voice convinced him
He just had to stay

Within the arms of something wonderful
Suddenly he knew they were
Becoming something wonderful
A kind of ""us against the world""
Beginning -- this was living as he'd never lived before
Cause loving her was
Wonderful forever -- he never wanted more

The children always hid their eyes
When Daddy kissed her face
They would dance around
The kitchen at the end of every day
Then the doctor signed a paper
That took Daddy's smile away
And when mama stopped her dancing
He got in her bed and lay there

In the arms of something wonderful
She lost hair, and she lost weight
But he knew she was beautiful
In her eyes he saw the same beloved
He still loved, and how could that ever change?
Cause loving her was
Wonderful forever -- forever and a day

Love me once and love me always
I’ll be here for you for always
Love me once and love me always
I’ll be here with you for always

Love is something wonderful
Candlelight and roses, yes
But sometimes life is terrible
Don't leave it to a lucky guess
And it's not fair, but he loved her until his dying day
He carried her love close to him
Forever -- and what else is there to say?
