Here we stand for our family and friends Its an old age ritual that never ends Here we stand to make the vows That bind our lives To join our hands and hearts And we begin with just one line... From this day forward. Here we stand so full of tenderness and strong To tell the world that this is where we both belong Not to but with each other Hand in hand and hearts aligned And we change the lives we're living With one simple line... From this day forward. From this day forward I will be right by your side to be there at the ebb of every tide I will be there to be your comfort And your guide from this day forward Here we stand to face future of our own To build our life together Brick by brick and stone by stone We understand that life is what we make it nowWe'll build it with our love and just these simple vows... from this day forward From this day forward I will be right by your side to be there at the ebb of every tide I will be there to be your comfort and your guide from this day forward. And the commitment that we make today is not a one day wonder every day we breathe our promise that bind us here and now what we join today in love there's no one else can tear asunder we'll commit ourselves to working on this love of ours from this day forward Here we stand before our family and friends its an age old ritual that never ends from this day forward
