but no one will ever know the difference if you play it this way.

Verse
I went to see Father of the Bride
With a Girl back home
We broke up before the sequel
So I went to that one all alone

I wondered who I’d wind up with
And what would our kids look like
Well I guess I got my answer
As I tucked em in tonight

Chorus:

Hey…….……………
I don’t think dreams come any truer
Boys welcome to the future
