Michael Peterson - By The Book lyrics

rate me

I slowly turned the pages

and see all these smiling faces

it's hard to believe it was today, ten years ago

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
