Sixpence None The Richer – Bouquet lyrics

Bouquet
Music & Lyrics by : The Jeremiah People; Steve Taylor
Originally recorded / performed by The Jeremiah People and also Steve Taylor

she was the one 
who caught the bouquet 
the night of her best friend's wedding day 

she was the one 
who caught the bouquet 
a token that God must want it that way 

and on the quest for her Mr. Right 
she said, "I do" where the lonely give in 
they were married on the way, and oh, 
nothing's sadder than the words, 
"it might have been" 

he was the one 
but promises dull 
when Jesus becomes expendable 

expecting to find 
what never was there 
but doesn't it still beat solitaire? 

she'd heard that time turns desire to love 
and that the Lord had it all in control 
so marry two half people, and oh, 
shouldn't one make the other whole? 

swallowing hard, 'cause you knew better before 
desperate for someone to blame 
and does it matter that he's gone again? 
and nothing's sadder than the words, 
"it might have been" 

she was the one 
the bouquet deceived 
believer who never could believe 

and now she's the one 
who's lonely again 
she's wondering how it might've been
