Altar Steps
The wooden doors swing open wide
A quiet hush across the aisle
Her father whispers by her side
And holds her tears behind a smile
Generations watch her pace
Mother's lace upon her gown
Every step an act of grace
As soft white petals settle down
Walk slowly to
the altar stone
Surrounded by the ones who
know
You never walked this road alone
Love held your hand to let you go (ooh-ooh)
Eyes meet at the front of room
A lifetime gathered in this space
A hand extended to
the groom
With blessing in a father's embrace
Walk slowly to
the altar stone
Surrounded by the ones who
know
You never walked this road alone
Love held your hand to let you
go (ah-ah)
Here begins the open skies (hummmm)
