By The Book — текст песни (Peterson Michael)

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 theses pictures show(now I know)
Chorus:
If I had loved he 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 forever
We`d still be together...if I had loved her by the book
If I`d opened the book more often
Then I wouldn`t 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 its to late to say I`m sorry now, but some how
(Repeat Chorus twice)
If I had loved her by the book
