Bouquet

Bouquet



She was the one

who caught the bouquet

the best of her best friend's wedding day



She was the one

who caught the bouquet

a token that God must want it that way



And on the quest for her Mr. Right

she said, "I do" where the lonely give in

they were married on the way, and oh,

nothing's sadder than the words,

"It might have been"



He was the one

but promises dull

when Jesus becomes expendable



Expecting to find

what never was there

but doesn't it still beat solitaire?



She'd heard that time turns desire to love

and that the Lord had it all in control

so marry two half people, and oh,

shouldn't one make the other whole?



Swallowing hard, 'cause you knew better before

desperate for someone to blame

and does it matter that he's gone again?

and nothing's sadder than the words,

"It might have been"



She was the one

the bouquet deceived

believer who never could believe



And now she's the one

who's lonely again

she's wondering how it might've been
