Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, hmm-mm
White lace, wildflower bouquet and a dress I can't afford
First man I ever loved, ready to place my hand in yours
And oh, your eyes fill with tears, I know
We've worked so hard to get here
We say for better or worse
What I mean in those two words is
Here's to the nights that we spent crying
The weight of the world hanging on our shoulders
Here's to the days of bills unpaid
And being afraid of getting older
Jobs they came and went, so did most our friends
Felt like the rain would never quit
But you took my hand
And we slow-danced through all of it
And that's what love is
♪
I still remember the first time
That first night
You held me in your arms
Pulled me in and we locked eyes
My left hand in your right
You danced me across the kitchen floor
And oh, now you're spinning me around
In a tux and a gown
In this crowded room
Everyone we love is watching
But it feels like it's just me and you, singing
Here's to the nights that we spent crying
The weight of the world hanging on our shoulders
Here's to the days of bills unpaid
And being afraid of getting older
Jobs they came and went, so did most our friends
Felt like the rain would never quit
But you took my hand
And we slow-danced through all of it
And that's what love is
Yeah, it's a promise for a lifetime
More than a ring on our finger
It's more than tonight
And our story, it's a chapter
It's the day of "I do" and the happily ever after that
So, everybody raise your glass
Here's to the nights that we spent crying
The weight of the world hanging on our shoulders
Here's to the days of bills unpaid
God, I can't wait 'til we grow old, and
Jobs they'll come and go, but we'll always know
When the rain won't seem to quit
Darling, take my hand
And we'll slow-dance through all of it
'Cause that's what love is
