Open Lyrics - Cradle To The Grave - Squeeze

Standing at the altar 

With his bride to be beside 

Through the stained glass window 

Came down a beam of light 

The weight of the commitment 

Poured over him with fear 

Like ice cream in a filling 

Now the future's finally here 

His soul had been replenished 

By the words the vicar read 

The organist dissected 

All the pieces she'd been fed

Open your hands 

Where once was a steeple 

Then look within 

At all of the people 

Family and friends 

In this congregation 

Open your heart 

To this celebration 

The choir pitched in early 

As his heart began to rip 

His anxiety was swollen 

With the quiver of a lip 

He looked around the chapel 

Seeing everybody there 

Photos 

He slowly fell to pieces and was only too aware 

The vows were something special 

So much deeper than he'd thought 

Commitment bound in footsteps 

That would be a lifelong walk 

Standing in the picture with his family all around 

Proud to see their Father 

Finally put the anchor down 

She had offered amnesty for a multitude of sins 

Through the stained glass window her love shone down on him
