By The Book Songtext

von Country Blend

I slowly turned the pages
And see all these smiling faces
It's hard to believe it was today, ten years ago
Here is the invitation, to our wedding celebration
Just look at the promise these pictures show (now I know)

If I had loved her by the book
She would be right here by my side
But fool that I am
I overlooked my promise to love her forever, for worse
Or for better
We'd still be together...if I had loved her by the book

If I'd opened this book more often
Then I wouldn't have forgotten
How much she cared, and how much I meant my solemn vow
To honor, to have and to hold her...but as I read them over
I know it's too late to say I'm sorry now, but some how

If I had loved her by the book
She would be right here by my side
But fool that I am
I overlooked my promise to love her forever, for worse
Or for better
We'd still be together...if I had loved her

If I had loved her by the book
She would be right here by my side
But fool that I am
I overlooked my promise to love her forever, for worse
Or for better
We'd still be together...if I had loved her
If I had loved her by the book
