FATHER OF THE BRIDE
by Fernando Bellini and Sharon Spivey

[VERSE 1]
She takes his arm, they slowly advance
She’s on cloud nine, he's in a trance
Some other man’s about to take his place
He does what he can to keep a smile on his face

[PRE-CHORUS]
But Heaven only knows what he'll go through
When they ask, “Who gives this woman away?”
And he has to say, “I do” 
 
[CHORUS]
´Cause he's the Father of the bride
He always knew this day would come
When his precious little girl
Would be marryin’ someone
But he loves her and she loves him
That’s the most important part
He'll bless this special day for them
And he'll give them both his heart
And when the ceremony’s over, It'll be him who cries
‘Cause he's proud to be - he's proud to be
The father of the bride - the father of the bride

VERSE 2:
His mind wanders back to when she was ten
He used to be her hero then
Her first two wheel bike - Lord, she was scared
She kept lookin' back, to make sure that he was there

[PRE CHORUS]
And he swore he always would be, but he knows
This is it - another chapter begins
And he'll have to let her go

[CHORUS]
´Cause he's the Father of the bride
He always knew this day would come
When his precious little girl
Would be marryin’ someone
But he loves her and she loves him
That’s the most important part
He'll bless this special day for them
And he'll give them both his heart
And when the ceremony’s over, It'll be him who cries
‘Cause he's proud to be - Lord, he's proud to be
The father of the bride - the father of the bride

FATHER OF THE BRIDE

I am a Nashville songwriter now living in Florida. I wrote Lorrie Morgan's 1st number one single, "Out Of Your Shoes" with Patti Ryan and Jill Wood. I am still "hard at play" pursuing my passion writing songs that I hope will  entertain and perhaps even make a difference.
