The Wedding Song Lyrics

There's an old song I wrote for you
It was everything you'd want it to be
A melody lift, a minor chord fall
It was timeless like you and me
And when the chorus hit it felt like flying
It would have played at every wedding night
And it went like

You are my one, you set my world on fire
I know there's heaven, but we must be higher
I'm gonna love you 'til my heart retires
Forever will last
I think it went something like that

There's an old song I wrote for you
I would play it for all of our friends
It would make them all dance, and make them all cry
When it's over they'd say play it again
I would have have sang it to you soft and sweet
You'd want it every anniversary
And it went like

You are my one, you set my world on fire
I know there's heaven, but we must be higher
Must be higher
I'm gonna love you 'til my heart retires
Forever will last
I think it went something like that

Why'd you have to mess it all up?
Why'd you have to burn it all down?
The words were so perfect
The world should have heard it
And sang every line out loud

Why'd you have to mess it all up?
Why'd you have to burn it all down?
Should've played on the radio
Day after day
'Til they say that it's all played out
Now
Now
Now

And it went like
You are my one, you set my world on fire
I know there's heaven but we must be higher
I'm gonna love you 'til my heart retires
Forever will last
I think it went something like that

Forever will last
I think it went something like that
