Lyrics

Today (can't help but cry)

Today will be the day, it'll be the best day of my life
Everything will change, everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
'Cause when I see your smile, everything will be alright

I tend to feel displaced, you say you're happy to see me
You always have such grace and every time I see you I
I can't help but cry
Yeah, I can't help but cry

And I say
"Oh, what a beautiful day
To spend with you, I wish it would
Never end"

Tonight will be the night that everything will fall in place
Under the shining light, I fell in love with your face
I love this place
And I, I love this day

'Cause today
I'll get to hear your name
And I get to see the smile on
Your face

And I say
"Oh, what a beautiful day
To spend with you, I wish it would
Never end"

And I'll go on
I'll go on and on and on
I could go on
I'll go on and on and on
