I told myself #24) I'll be waiting to kiss the bride, when her name is new Standing oh so close to her, silently saying "I do" I'll be holding back my tears 'til she's gone away 'Cause she'll belong to someone else, When the organ starts to play #25) ----------------------- T I E - B R E A K E R S ----------------------- You've got a slot to fill, and fill that slot you will You'll learn to love it, or we'll break you What will it take to whip you into line? A broken heart? A broken head? It can be arranged It can be arranged #T1) And you know that you must find her, find her, find her She's not home when you call So you may go to all The places where she used to go But she has gone awa-a-ay #T2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Name(s) = E-mail address = Age(s) [will be published if provided] = Number of people (including you) who contributed to your answers = ------------------------------------------------------------------------
