Today is the day...
That dreams will be made...
Memories will be created...
And love will shine...
Shine like the sun...
And the sun shines bright today...
For today is our day...
Our day to be carefree...
Our day to love...
Our day to be together...
Today is a special day...
For today belongs to us...
So let the sun shine...
The birds sing....
The clouds float by...
And the children play...
For today is our day...
Our day to love...
Our day to cherish...
And our day to be together...
