Lyrics

Featuring:
Drink to the bride, drink to the groom
Drink to the sun that rises soon
Got to get sober now I’m wed
Raise your glass and run to bed

Drink to the bride, drink to the groom
Drink to the sun that rises soon
Got to get sober now I’m wed
Raise your glass and run to bed

Home is where the heart should be
He’s on land and she’s at sea
She’s the tide and he’s the tree
With roots deep in the water
A mermaid is a salty dish
Half a girl and half a fish
He’s not sure which one to kiss
And wonders how he caught her

Drink to the bride
Drink to the groom
Drink to the sun that rises soon
Got to get sober now I’m wed
Raise your glass and run to bed

Drink to the bride
Drink to the groom
Drink to the sun that rises soon
Got to get sober now I’m wed
Raise your glass and run to bed

A wedding song for you I’ll sing
Silver bells and golden rings
All the joy that union brings
When two are one together
Tonight the rocks and the waves entwine
Hear the breakers, taste the brine
She’ll be his come rain or shine
Fair wind or stormy weather

Drink to the bride
Drink to the groom
Drink to the sun that rises soon
Got to get sober now I’m wed
Raise your glass and run to bed

Drink to the bride
Drink to the groom
Drink to the sun that rises soon
Got to get sober now I’m wed
Raise your glass and run to bed
