By the Book
It's hard to believe it was today, ten years ago
Here is the invitation to our wedding celebration
Just look at the promise these 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 Id've loved her by the book
If I opened this book more often, then I wouldn't have forgotten
How much she cared and how much I meant my solemn vows
To honor to have and hold her, but as I read them over
I know it's too late to say I'm sorry now
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 Id've loved her by the book
If I had loved her by the book
