Lyrics

Aisle Altar Hymn

The bride to be was tremblin' as the minutes ticked away - her feet were growin' colder til she heard her father say
Daughter just relax til we begin your bridal march but when everybody's standin' hang on to my arm
Then focus on the aisle just stay focused on the aisle
don't let your blue eyes wander stay focused on the aisle
When you feel your knees a knockin' & you find it hard to smile
Just remember what I'm sayin' & stay focused on the aisle

That bride was like a school girl her teacher taught her well, she studied him intently knowin he had more to tell
He said when we get half way I'll give yer hand a squeeze & lift your head toward the altar & we'll get this done w/ease
Then focus on the altar just stay focused on the altar
Don't let your thoughts wander stay focused on the altar
cameras will be flashin' & your nerves will wanna falter
But remember what I'm sayin' & stay focused on the altar

Daughter you best trust me if you aim to say I do, keep a grip on your roses & I'll keep my grip on you
But when we reach your intended I'll have to leave your side so listen to the organ playin' here comes the bride
And keep focused on the hymn just stay focused on the hymn
Don't let your thoughts wander stay focused on the hymn
Soon church bells will be ringin' & your new life will begin
But remember what I'm sayin' & stay focused on the hymn

Then everybody stood & the wedding march began & that's when that sly old father took his daughter's hand
He couldn't hide his smile as the guests turned their heads & heard that girl repeat exactly what her father said
She said Aisle Altar Hymn she said Aisle Altar Hymn
Everyone could hear her sayin' "Aisle Altar Hymn"
His daughter kept her focus while everybody grinned
as she marched up to her groom sayin' "Aisle Altar Hymn"
