Lyrics
THIS IS FROM US TO YOU
VERSE ONE
Seeing a daughter off on honeymoon
Often happens once in a blue moon
We're so excited that you would think
We have both been out for a drink
Trying to ease the pain of letting you go
It's hard but we saw it coming long ago
Yet couldn't find a better way to part
With you, sad but glad to see you depart
CHORUS
And this is from us to you
Go on honeymoon and have
The time of your life, expenses
All paid up with an account
From a bank you can count on
This is from us to you
VERSE TWO
We are so proud of you Pearl,
Our good beautiful little girl
Coz that is what you will always
Be to us, we can't believe; of all the ways
You had to choose to gain your freedom;
Chose a man condemning us to boredom
It's so sad but we're glad to let you go
On a honeymoon you dreamed long ago
CHORUS
And this is from us to you
Go on honeymoon and have
The time of your life, expenses
All paid up with an account
From a bank you can count on
This is from us to you
BRIDGE
Living one's dream is a hassle
As it requires financial muscle
With love and a bank you can count on
We say goodbye in tears and laughter
Believing you'll live happily ever after
CHORUS
And this is from us to you
Go on honeymoon and have
The time of your life, expenses
All paid up with an account
From a bank you can count on
This is from us to you
And this is from us to you
Go on honeymoon and have
The time of your life, expenses
All paid up with an account
From a bank you can count on
This is from us to you
FADING
We're glad you're both pretty and brainy
But don't be sad, we saved for our rainy
Day, being over 50 we'd afford to pay
For your honeymoon, save's all we say
You'll need it; this is from us to you
