So You Want to Marry Me Why

So You Want to Marry Me Why

So you want to marry me why

Tell me what it is you see

Is it comfort or a picture

Or something deeper underneath

Do you see the quiet moments

The moods I cannot disguise

Do you see the harder seasons

Not only easier times

Marriage is not all celebrations

Not dresses and perfect days

It is ordinary mornings

And choosing someone anyway

Will you stay through disappointment

Will you listen when I speak

Will you stand beside my worries

When life turns unfamiliar streets

Do not answer fast or lightly

Think before you make that vow

Because forever sounds romantic

Until forever starts somehow

So you want to marry me why

If your answer still remains

Maybe what you really wanted

Was not perfection in my name
