They taught me that love is worth the weight in gold

Like that ring on your hand, so

When you find the one, the stayin' kind

Then he won't mind...
G D
If you make him wait, in his tux

Cellos sing you down the aisle
G D A
Walk slow, take your time, while your daddy cries and your mama smiles
G D A Bm
And they're throwin' rice in the air and those tin cans roll away
G D Asus2 A
And you look into his eyes, and realize it was worth the while
G D A Bm
To make him wait
G D A
Make him wait
