You were the mother of three girls so sweet

The girls were all there, they traded their vows

The youngest one glared with furrowed brow
G Am Em D
As they tenderly kissed and cut the cake

The bride then tripped and broke the vase
G Am Em D
The one you thought would span the years
G Am C
So perfectly placed below the mirror

Arriving late, you cleaned the debris
G Am C
And walked into the angry scene

It felt just like falling in love again
Am Em D C
And it felt just like falling in love again
