Lyrics

[Verse 1]
At last my dreams come true, today he said, "I do"
Friends said it couldn't be done, but all his love I know I've won
'Cause third finger, left hand
That's where he placed the wedding band
[Verse 2]
He walked right up to me and pledged his love for me
I longed to hear him say the sweet words he spoke that day
Made me feel so good inside till tears came to my eyes
I love him above the rest 'cause in my book, he's the best
[Verse 3]
'Cause he did something that no one else did
Friends said it couldn't be done, but all his love I know I've won
'Cause third finger, left hand
That's where he placed the wedding band
[Verse 4]
His words were a precious few, that lonely hum my heart knew
That no other boys with wine will ever change my mind
Other boys I sent away, I locked my heart till our wedding day
I love him above the rest 'cause in my book, he's the best
[Verse 5]
'Cause he did something that no one else did
Friends said it couldn't be done, but all his love I know I've won
'Cause third finger, left hand
That's where he placed the wedding band
[Verse 6]
Third finger, left hand
That's where he placed the wedding band
Third finger, left hand
That's where he placed the wedding band
[Verse 7]
Third finger, left hand
That's where he placed the wedding band
Third finger, left hand
That's where he placed the wedding band
