When you're standing at the altar
With the keeper of your heart
When he lifts your veil to kiss you
As the organ player starts
And when you takes his arm and you turn around
And down the aisle you run
Oh, I want to be the one
And when you call your husband over
To feel the baby kick inside
When his eyes light up with laughter
And his heart fills up with pride
And when you finally introduce him
To his daughter or his son
Oh, I want to be the one
I want to be the one who
Moves you like a lover
Who listens like a true friend
And knows you like no other
I want to be the one
Who acccepts your strangest thoughts
The one you can depend on
To overlook your faults
And as the summers come and go
In my heart of hearts, I know
I want to be the one
And when your grandkids catch old grandpa
Playfully pinch your behind
When they run giggling to their parents
'Bout how weird he acts sometimes
Hey, and rocking right there beside you
When you're eighty-five years young
Oh, I want to be the one
Oh, I want to be the one who
Moves you like a lover
Who listens like a true friend
And knows you like no other
I want to be the one
Who acccepts your strangest thoughts
The one you can depend on
To overlook your faults
And with your hair as white as snow
And your candle burning low
Oh, I want to be the one
