I can hear the truck tires coming up the gravel road

And it's not like her to drive that slow, nothings on the radio

Footsteps on the front porch I hear my door-bell

She usually comes right in. Now I can tell

But here comes good-bye, here comes the last time

Here comes the start of every sleepless night

The first of every tear I'm gonna cry

Here comes me wishing things would never change

And she was right here in my arms tonight

I can hear her say I love you like it was yesterday
And I can see it written on her face that she had never felt this way
One day I thought I'd see her with her daddy by her side,
and violins into play "Here comes the bride"
