A Wedding Song for Tim and Nikki

While Ben was home last week, I got a preview of a sweet, funny little song he wrote for his little brother and his wife-to-be. The lyrics are below, but the music makes it better: it is sweet and carefree and adorable...and there are many inside family jokes that are probably not obvious to others.

Tim and Nikki's Wedding Song (working title)
By BDF

I have always been a runner
I've never known how to
stand still at all

so you put on your tight shirt
I will wear my shortest shorts
and bright yellow socks

and we will run away together

I never thought I'd find a runner
as tall and swift and beautiful
as I hope to be

so you put on your favorite shoes
I will find my khaki shorts
and even wear a belt

and we will skip away together

And if you should fall down,
I will catch you, put you back on your feet.
And if I should fall behind,
I know that you will wait for me.

I know that I love you
and that you love me, too
even though I'm faster

so you put on your white dress
and I will find a tux that goes with
bright yellow socks

walking down that aisle together
we will walk away forever
