Lyrics
1. Just to see you I've been traveling a distance, it's true.
Knowing the distance of love can be greater than miles, I'm so happy I have found you.
2. You I have chosen to be with and become my wife.
Just like you've chosen me to be your husband in a romance to last our whole lives.
Chorus And if we seem a bit too hasty to those on the outside,
Rest easy, we're doing this only because of our deep love inside.
3. Rings on our fingers will symbolize all that we feel.
Facing each other like mirrors of love, in our eyes, we see only our ideal.
Chorus And if we seem a bit too hasty to those on the outside,
Rest easy, we're doing this only because of our deep love inside.
Outro By rites, I only have to claim you, come and be my bride.
Go gently, we have true commitment, and God is on our side.
By rites, you only have to claim me, I'll be your white knight.
Go gently, we have our commitment, and God is on our side.
