By The Book (Peterson Michael)

As I slowly turn 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 Id've loved her by the book If I opened this book more often, then I wouldn't have forgotten How much she cared and how much I meant my solemn vows To honor to have and hold her, but as I read them over I know it's too late to say I'm sorry now 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 Id've loved her by the book If I had loved her by the book
