Story Behind The Song

I am a hopeless romantic. I wrote this song for one of my dearest friends in the world when he was about to marry the woman of his dreams! I gave it to them as a wedding present!

Lyrics

**** THE REST OF YOUR LIFE ****
(SHERRI MULLEN)

YOU BOTH HAD YOUR UPS AND DOWNS
AND I DON?T KNOW IF YOU SAVED HER OR SHE SAVED YOU
BUT NOW LIFE?S NO LONGER TRAGIC

NOW YOU?RE STANDING SIDE BY SIDE
READY FOR THIS CRAZY RIDE BUILT FOR TWO
AND ALL I SEE IS MAGIC

AND IT?S TRUE-THINGS ARE GONNA CHANGE
NOW YOUR HOUSE WILL BE A HOME
AND YOU?LL NEVER HAVE TO FACE THE DAWN ALONE

(CHORUS)
AND I KNOW YOU?RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
TO HAVE, TO HOLD, FOREVER-IT?S THE GREATEST PLACE TO BE
AND WITH LOVE ? NOW YOUR FUTURE?S BRIGHT
WELCOME TO THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

IT?S FUNNY HOW LIFE THROWS A CURVE
WHEN YOU THINK YOUR LOST AND YOU?LL NEVER FIND YOUR WAY
THEN FATE BRINGS YOU TOGETHER

THE BEST THINGS ARE WORTH WAITING FOR
NOW THAT WAIT IS DONE FOR SURE AND YOU KNOW
YOU?VE FINALLY FOUND FOREVER

AND IT?S TRUE-THINGS ARE GONNA CHANGE
NOW YOUR HOUSE WILL BE A HOME
AND YOU?LL NEVER HAVE TO FACE THE DAWN ALONE

(CHORUS)
AND I KNOW YOU?RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
TO HAVE, TO HOLD, FOREVER-IT?S THE GREATEST PLACE TO BE
AND WITH LOVE ? NOW YOUR FUTURE?S BRIGHT
WELCOME TO THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

(BRIDGE)
TO STEALING KISSES LATE AT NIGHT
AND MANY AFTERNOON DELIGHTS
TO SNUGGLING ALL NIGHT LONG
AND MAKING UP WHEN YOU ARE WRONG
HERE?S TO LAUGHTER-HERE?S TO SMILES
AS LOVE CARRIES YOU THRU LIFE?S TRIALS
AS ONE YOU WEREN?T THAT STRONG
BUT AS TWO YOU CAN?T GO WRONG

(CHORUS)
AND I KNOW YOU?RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
TO HAVE, TO HOLD, FOREVER-IT?S THE GREATEST PLACE TO BE
AND WITH LOVE ? NOW YOUR FUTURE?S BRIGHT
WELCOME TO THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
