Happy Wedding Day (Alex's Song)

[Verse 1: John Cooper]

Me and mom were working at the speed of light

Trying to be parents, trying to live right

Guess we made it

And I wouldn't change a thing

Everybody said you got your daddy's eyes

You were my princess, you were my pride

Now you're grown up

Can't believe how things have changed

[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper]

Now look at you standing in your white dress

Where'd the time go? Not prepared for this

It's rushing back to me like a flash flood

But I remember all the nights

[Chorus: John Cooper]

Leave the dishes out and we'd put you to bed

Say no to one more story that I wish I'd of read

I didn't know then it'd come to an end

And I want it back now

We started out with dreams and love and nothing more

We ate from paper bags and we slept on the floor

Sometimes we weren't sure 'bout this adventure

But you made us so proud

I blinked, it went faster than a freight train

Happy wedding day

[Verse 2: John Cooper]

Being on the road like a circus act

The highlight of the night was to hear you laugh

Guess we made it, but it's a little quiet now

Planes, trains, buses they were all you knew

Companions, best friends, survivors too

We had some hard times

But they never kept us down

[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper]

Now look at you standing in your white dress

Where the time go? Not prepared for this

It's rushing back to me like a flash flood

And I remember all the nights

[Chorus: John Cooper]

Leave the dishes out and we'd put you to bed

Say no to one more story that I wish I'd of read

I didn't know then it'd come to an end

And I want it back now

We started out with dreams and love and nothing more

We ate from paper bags and we slept on the floor

Sometimes we weren't sure 'bout this adventure

But you made us so proud

I blinked, it went faster than a freight train

Happy wedding day

[Post-Chorus: John Cooper]

Happy wedding day

Yeah, I remember all the nights

[Chorus: John Cooper]

Leave the dishes out and we'd put you to bed

Say no to one more story that I wish I'd of read

I didn't know then it'd come to an end

It's rushing back now

We started out with dreams and love and nothing more

We ate from paper bags and we slept on the floor

Sometimes we weren't sure 'bout this adventure

But you made us so proud

I blinked, it went faster than a freight train

Happy wedding day

Faster than a freight train

Happy wedding day

[Outro: John Cooper]

Look at you standing in your white dress
