No earthly church has ever blessed our union
|
No state has ever granted us permission
|
No family bond has ever made us two
|
No company has ever earned commission
|
|
No debt was ever paid no dowry to be gained
|
No treaty over border land or power
|
No semblance of the world outside remained
|
To stain the beauty of this nuptial hour
|
|
The secret marriage vow is never spoken
|
The secret marriage can never be broken
|
|
No flowers on the alter
|
No white veil in your hair
|
No maiden dress to alter
|
No Bible oath to swear
|
|
The secret marriage vow is never spoken
|
The secret marriage can never be broken
|
