We cut the cake, everybody danced, and some people drank too much
You looked like the cover of Brides Magazine, and I looked like some guy in the tux
I'll never forget when your Uncle Bill pulled up a chair and sat down
He said, "Son, I've been married now 45 years," and pointed at you through the crowd
And said
Love her like she's leaving
Like it's going to end if you don't
Love her like she's leaving
Oh, and I guarantee she won't
He said, "It's sending her flowers for no reason at all, and notes on the fridge every day
An unexpected gift at an unexpected time, that keep the lawyers away
It's easy to take forever for granted with tin cans tied to your car
I know she tells you that she'll always be there but I'm telling you if you're smart
Love her like she's leaving
Like it's going to end if you don't
Love her like she's leaving
Oh, and I guarantee she won't
She could have any man she wants, you know it's true
Best way to keep her, is to keep her wanting you"
Love her like she's leaving
Like it's going to end if you don't
Love her like she's leaving
Oh, and I guarantee she won't
Love her like she's leaving
Oh, and I guarantee she won't
