Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

Calendar's marked, the season's turning slow,

Every friend of mine already has a ring to show.

I keep the porch light on, I keep the coffee warm,

Waiting for the day you finally take my form.

[chorus]

Oh, won't you say the word, won't you set the date,

I've been standing here so long I can hardly wait.

Ring the wedding bells, let the whole town know,

Say you'll be my groom before we're old and grey and slow.

[verse]

You talk about tomorrow like it's far away,

But tomorrow keeps on turning into just today.

I don't need a mansion, don't need diamond rings,

Just your hand in mine and all the good that brings.

[chorus]

Oh, won't you say the word, won't you set the date,

I've been standing here so long I can hardly wait.

Ring the wedding bells, let the whole town know,

Say you'll be my groom before we're old and grey and slow.

[bridge]

Preacher's on the corner, choir's in the hall,

Flowers by the doorway waiting for your call.

All I need's your promise, all I need's your name,

Standing right beside me when the bells proclaim.

[chorus]

Oh, won't you say the word, won't you set the date,

I've been standing here so long I can hardly wait.

Ring the wedding bells, let the whole town know,

Say you'll be my groom before we're old and grey and slow.

Calendar's marked, the season's turning slow,
Every friend of mine already has a ring to show.
I keep the porch light on, I keep the coffee warm,
Waiting for the day you finally take my form.

Oh, won't you say the word, won't you set the date,
I've been standing here so long I can hardly wait.
Ring the wedding bells, let the whole town know,
Say you'll be my groom before we're old and grey and slow.

You talk about tomorrow like it's far away,
But tomorrow keeps on turning into just today.
I don't need a mansion, don't need diamond rings,
Just your hand in mine and all the good that brings.

Oh, won't you say the word, won't you set the date,
I've been standing here so long I can hardly wait.
Ring the wedding bells, let the whole town know,
Say you'll be my groom before we're old and grey and slow.
