Broadway production (2014) If/Then the Musical - This Day / Walking By A Wedding Lyrics
(performs Idina Menzel, Anthony Rapp, James Snyder and other)
Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh
All the days he thought he'd lost her All the nights she had that fear All the fights and all they cost her All of that has lead them here
All their life has gone this way So they could be here this day Oh, this day And all the wrong turns on the way Somehow brought them both here to this day
Walking by a wedding On East Tenth, near Lower Broadway On a dapple afternoon of a not-quite-summer's day
Walking by a wedding With the wispy, waspish bridesmaids With the whitest calla lilies In the tiniest bouquet It must be May
All the time I lost before you All the time I left to fate All the time that I'll adore you Is how I know we're not too late
Every hour of love delayed Doesn't mean a minute this day Oh, this day And when we finally say those vows I'll love you just as long as time allows
Walking by a wedding As the church doors tumble open And the cousins and the colleagues Stagger out into the street
You imagine your own wedding As you float on down the aisle To the man upon the alter Who will make your life complete Who perhaps you'll one day meet
And she will never look so beautiful And he will never stand so still And this day may last forever But tomorrow never will
And life will never seem so beautiful For trouble seems so far away Will the answers be so easy As I do, and I do, this once, this day?
Walking by a wedding On East Tenth, near Lower Broadway In the dying afternoon of a should-be summer day
Standing there and knowing The world will never seem so lonely As when you're walking by a wedding And waiting and watching Then walking, walking away
Get ready for the bride and groom!
All the things I messed up badly All the hurt and all the shame You'd do 'em all again and gladly If you knew you'd end up the same All my life a sad display All of it, except for this day Oh, this day
And I'm a sorry sight to see Except the fact that you love me And all I lost along the way Is all I had to lose to find this day Oh, this day This day Oh, this day
I'm amazed he somehow found her I'm amazed that she gave in She will lift, and he will ground her All in all, I'd say it's win-win
'Cos the first time was disaster When Liz was Oran's wife She'd have ditched him that much faster If he'd just walked into her life Oh, this day This day Oh, this day This day Oh, this day...
