For My Wedding Lyrics
For My Wedding
I will dress in black
Never again will I look back
All my dark angels, we must part
Provide me with a sanctuary of my heart
To want what I have
To take what I’m given with grace
For this I pray
On my wedding day
For My Wedding
I don’t want violins
Or sentimental songs, about thick & thin
I want a moment of silence
And a moment of prayer
For the love we’ll need to make it
In the world out there
To want what we have
To take what I’m given with grace
For this I pray
On my wedding day
On my wedding day
Well I dream in my dreams are glory and light
That’s what I wanted for my life
And if it hasn’t always been that way
Well I can dream, and I can pray
On my wedding day
So what makes us any different
From all the others
Who have tried and failed before us
Maybe nothing, maybe nothing at all
But I pray were the lucky ones
I pray we’ll never fall
To want what we have
To take what I’m given with grace
For this I pray
On my wedding day
On my wedding day
I will dress in black
Never again will I look back
All my dark angels, we must part
Provide me with a sanctuary of my heart
To take what I’m given with grace
For this I pray
On my wedding day
I don’t want violins
Or sentimental songs, about thick & thin
I want a moment of silence
And a moment of prayer
For the love we’ll need to make it
In the world out there
To take what I’m given with grace
For this I pray
On my wedding day
On my wedding day
That’s what I wanted for my life
And if it hasn’t always been that way
Well I can dream, and I can pray
On my wedding day
From all the others
Who have tried and failed before us
Maybe nothing, maybe nothing at all
But I pray were the lucky ones
I pray we’ll never fall
To take what I’m given with grace
For this I pray
On my wedding day
On my wedding day

*oh my dark angel ...if i'm not mistaken. i could be wrong.
i'm surprised no one's commented on this yet. it's a really pretty song.
I'm pretty sure "all my dark angels" is correct. He is saying he must part ways and finally forget about his past "loves" and bury them in the past. The rest of the song I'm pretty sure is self explanatory. Beautiful song
Beautiful song, yes. Dark angels? Maybe Henley is referring to his old ways, old habits. He needs to change for this marriage to work and to last. He's committed to it, too. I see some congruent thoughts with this song and "Everything is Different Now" on the same album.
