Marry Your Best Friend

Before I talk to her dad, I knew I had to talk to mine

Had to talk to a man who knows how to love his wife

This fall makes 39 years, so what's your secret here?

Got an emerald cut she loves that I'm 'bout to buy

And he said

"Be the first to apologize, even when you're right

And say when you're wrong

Never pass up on the chance to slow down

And dance to her favorite song

That diamond ring's worth every cent if you marry your best friend

Buy the flowers just because, fill her coffee cup and her tank of gas

And thank God for what you've got

And don't ever stop trying to make her laugh

You want a love that will last you 'til the end?

Marry your best friend"

Make sure you make the rent and take her on the trip

'Cause money spent on memories is money well spent

Son, I don't know everything, but I know one thing for sure

If you love her that much right now

You're only going to love her more, so

Be the first to apologize, even when you're right

And say when you're wrong

Never pass up on the chance to slow down

And dance to her favorite song

That diamond ring's worth every cent if you marry your best friend

Buy the flowers just because, fill her coffee cup and her tank of gas

And thank God for what you've got

And don't ever stop trying to make her laugh

You want a love that will last you 'til the end?

Marry your best friend

Marry the one who makes you see a better man

In the mirror looking back (better man in the mirror looking back)

Marry the one you know you can't live without

That's the only way to make it last

Be the first to apologize, even when you're right

And say when you're wrong

Never pass up on the chance to slow down

And dance to her favorite song

That diamond ring's worth every cent if you marry your best friend

Buy the flowers just because, fill her coffee cup and her tank of gas

And thank God for what you got
