By the Book Songtext
von Michael Peterson

I slowly turned the pages

And see all these smiling faces
It′s hard to believe
It was today, ten years ago

Here is the invitation

To our wedding celebration
Just look at the promise
These pictures show

Now I know
If I had loved her by the book
She would be right here by my side
But fool that I am
I overlooked

My promise to love her forever
For worse or for better
We'd still be together
If I had loved her by the book


If I′d opened this book more often
Then I wouldn't have forgotten
How much she cared
Snd how much I meant my solemn vow

To honor, to have and to hold her
But as I read them over
I know it's to late to say I′m sorry now

But some how
If I had loved her by the book
She would be right here by my side
But fool that I am
I overlooked

My promise to love her forever


For worse or for better
We′d still be together
If I had loved
If I had loved her by the book
She would be right here by my side
But fool that I am
I overlooked
My promise to love her forever
For worse or for better
We'd still be together
If I had loved her
If I had loved her by the book
