(The singer in this song is a woman. Probably 35 to 45 yrs. old. )
Evaline and I were married by a justice of the peace
we had no need for pomp and circumstance
I held her hand, and she held mine; stared in each others eyes
and formalized our 14 year romance
Chorus
Evaline, I loved you from the start
we were married long ago here in my heart
Evaline, for the world to know
we are together, now and forever
Evaline
We headed down to p-town for a summer honeymoon
it shouldn’t be that different, but it is
They say love is what matters and who needs a wedding ring?
But I've been waiting all my life for this
Repeat Chorus
I wish my dad could see us , I wish he was still here
I'd like to think he'd finally understand
This was not some passing phase, not some choice I made
Loving her is who I really am
Repeat Chorus
Evaline and I were married, by the justice of the peace
a wedding vow that made it all complete
And even if you find it strange, I hope that you will be
Happy now for me and Evaline
I hope you can look to your heart
And I hope that you can be, happy now for me and Evaline
