I realize this was always a wedding song but I've never thought of it that way. I've always felt it to be a song about someone who knows they don't mind being alone but realizes they've found someone who they never want to be alone -- without. That you find someone to go the journey with.
This love song recording is as stripped down and naked as I could make it. The tone has a deep, lush feeling to it IMO with a crisp symmetry in chord progression.
This was recorded with 3 mics -- one for voice, two at the guitar (soundhole and mid-neck) -- and I was playing on a loaner Martin 000-28ECB. It was the 1st take and isn't beat perfect.
lyrics
Say you will
Say you will
Say you will
Be my bride today
Come be with me
And be my love
Do you see
I want to be
Together, forever,
My love
At the end of my days
I want you by my side
Look at back at our times
with pride
Say you'll be my bride today
I've been alone
But not lonely
All my life
Now I want to live with you
So please be my wife
Come live with me
And be my love
I want to be
Together, forever,
My love
Say you will
Say you will
Say you will
Be my bride today
