'til The Day Lyrics

I can never know if you’d approve of me

But I’m here to ask you just the same

I’ve been walking row by row

Searching for your name

They tell me you sang just like me

But you never cared to make it big

A family man whose dream in life

Was his wife and his kids

I came here to ask for your permission

To take your daughter as my wife

And I hope you’re not rolling over in your grave cause I will

Love her ‘til the day I die

I will give her everything I have

The Lord knows that ain't much

I'd buy her expensive things

But she don’t care about that stuff

And I’m not schooled in politics

I just don’t give a damn about all that

But I’ve got ambition, I’ve got this guitar

And I got the clothes on my back

I came here to ask for your permission

To take your daughter as my wife

And I hope you’re not rolling over in your grave cause I will

Love her ‘til the day I die

I talked to your kids this morning

Everyone is safe and okay

Mary’s still in school

And Mathew has another baby on the way

And I wish that you were still around

Your wife says we’d get along just fine

You know after all these years

You’re still always on her mind

I came here to ask for your permission

To take your daughter as my wife

And I hope you’re not rolling over in your grave cause I will

Love her ‘til the day I die

I know you can’t walk her down the aisle

And you can’t place her hand in mine

But I know that you’ll be with us

When we hear those wedding bells chime

So I brought you an invitation

Along with some flowers from the bride

You know she’d give anything

To still have you by her side

And that’s why I’m here to ask for your permission

To take your daughter as my wife

And I hope you’re not rolling over in your grave cause I will

Love her ‘til the day I die, oh I will, Love her ‘til the day I die

I promise I will, love her ‘til the day I die
