We cut the cake, everybody danced
and some people drank too much
You looked like the cover of Brides magazine
and I looked like some guy in the tux
I'll never forget
when your Uncle Bill
pulled up a chair and sat down
He said son I've been married now
45 years and he pointed at you through the crowd
And said
Love her like she's leaving
Like it's all going to end if you don't
Love her like she's leaving
Oh and I guarantee she won't
He said it's sending her flowers
for no reason at all
and notes on the fridge every day
An unexpected gift at an unexpected time,
that keep the lawyers away
It's easy to take forever for granted
with tin cans tied to your car
I know she tells you that she'll always be there
but I'm telling you if you're smart
You'll
She could have any man she wants you know it's true
Best way to keep her is to keep her wanting you
Chorus
