[English]

My whole world changed from the moment I met you

And it would never be the same

Felt like I knew that I always love you

From the moment I heard your name

Everything was perfect, I knew this love was worth it

Our own miracle in the makin'

Until this world stops turning

I'll still be here waiting and waiting to make that vow that I'll

I'll be by your side 'til the day I die

I'll be waiting 'til I hear you say, "I do"

Something old, something new

Something borrowed, something blue

I'll be waiting 'til I hear you say, "I do"

Smiles by the thousands, your tears have all dried out

'Cause I won't see you cry again

Throw pennies in the fountain, and look at what comes out

Sometimes wishes do come true

Now everything is perfect, I know this love is worth it

Our own miracle in the makin'

Until this world stops turning

I'll still be here waiting and waiting to make that vow that I'll

I'll be by your side, 'til the day I die

I'll be waiting 'til I hear you say, "I do"

Something old, something new

Something borrowed, something blue

I'll be waiting 'til I hear you say, "I do"

Always better than worse, protect you from the hurt

I'll be waiting 'til I hear you say, "I do"

I do love you, yes I do love you

I'll be waiting 'til hear you say, "I do"

'Cause I love you, love you

I'll be by your side 'til the day I die

I'll be waiting 'til I hear you say, "I do"

Something old, something new

Something borrowed, something blue

I'll be waiting 'til I hear you say, "I do"

We're shining like a diamond, just look at us now

I wanna hear you say, "I do"
