Joe Farren - 'Til The Day Lyrics
I can never know if you’d approve of meBut I’m here to ask you just the sameI’ve been walking row by rowSearching for your nameThey tell me you sang just like meBut you never cared to make it bigA family man whose dream in lifeWas his wife and his kidsI came here to ask for your permissionTo take your daughter as my wifeAnd I hope you’re not rolling over in your grave cause I willLove her ‘til the day I dieI will give her everything I haveThe Lord knows that ain't muchI'd buy her expensive thingsBut she don’t care about that stuffAnd I’m not schooled in politicsI just don’t give a damn about all thatBut I’ve got ambition, I’ve got this guitarAnd I got the clothes on my backI came here to ask for your permissionTo take your daughter as my wifeAnd I hope you’re not rolling over in your grave cause I willLove her ‘til the day I dieI talked to your kids this morningEveryone is safe and okayMary’s still in schoolAnd Mathew has another baby on the wayAnd I wish that you were still aroundYour wife says we’d get along just fineYou know after all these yearsYou’re still always on her mindI came here to ask for your permissionTo take your daughter as my wifeAnd I hope you’re not rolling over in your grave cause I willLove her ‘til the day I dieI know you can’t walk her down the aisleAnd you can’t place her hand in mineBut I know that you’ll be with usWhen we hear those wedding bells chimeSo I brought you an invitationAlong with some flowers from the brideYou know she’d give anythingTo still have you by her sideAnd that’s why I’m here to ask for your permissionTo take your daughter as my wifeAnd I hope you’re not rolling over in your grave cause I willLove her ‘til the day I die, oh I will, Love her ‘til the day I dieI promise I will, love her ‘til the day I die
