Mary Martin - All the Dearly Beloved/Together Forever/I Do! I Do! lyrics

[MICHAEL] All the dearly beloved have gathered at last [AGNES] Faces from the future and those from the past [MICHAEL] Distant cousins and uncles and aunts [AGNES] The boy who took me to my very first dance [MICHAEL] The girl I used to think was somewhat cute [AGNES] My mother's uncle Herbert from the institute [BOTH] And they've all of them come with one thing in mind Just to see us say, "I do" [MICHAEL] I do, I do, that's all I have to say I do, I do, I say it every day I did, I did, I did it just last night I said it at the church rehearsal, and I got it right I do, I do, how easily it's said I wonder what would happen if I said "I don't" instead... I do, I do, I do [AGNES] This morning I woke up so early In fact, I never slept I got down the box inside my closet Where my very best things are kept Then I fixed me a cup of nice hot tea And I locked my door inside Then I looked at my high school photographs And cried And cried And cried [MICHAEL] I do! I do! I do, I do! [MICHAEL] A man and a woman are meant for each other Are meant for each other as husband and wife From this moment forward, I promise to love thee I promise to love thee the rest of my life [BOTH] Together forever, forever together For this is the promise you give Together forever, forever together Through all of the sorrow and happiness Together, as long as you live [AGNES] To honor and cherish, forsaking all others Forsaking all others, I offer my heart For richer, for poorer, to love and to comfort To love and to comfort 'til d**h do us part [BOTH] Together forever, forever together For this is the promise you give Together forever, forever together Through all of the sorrow and happiness Together as long as you live [AGNES] There's a strange new world That you enter when you say, "I do" [MICHAEL] I do [AGNES] Such a strange new world That you barely can believe it's true [MICHAEL] It's true [AGNES] For your friends all shower you with shoes and rice! [MICHAEL] Your head is spinning, and you feel so nice! [BOTH] Who thinks that marriage is a paradise? I do! I do! [AGNES] In this strange new world That you enter when you say, "I do!" [MICHAEL] I do! You can almost see that the future's gonna be a dream- [AGNES] Come true [BOTH] You can throw away your every care and doubt! For that what married life is all about! I do! I do! I do! [Dance break] [AGNES] There's a strange new world That you enter when you say "I do" "I do" That the future's gonna be A dream come true For that what married life is all about! I do! I do! I do! [MICHAEL] "I do" "I do" You can almost see That the future's gonna be A dream come true You can throw away Your every care and doubt I do! I do! I do! [BOTH] I do! I do! I do! I do!
